Summary:
The Yinghua Academy area includes just one school: Yinghua Academy, located at 1616 Buchanan St NE in Minneapolis, MN. It is listed as an elementary school but actually serves grades K–8, with 851 students enrolled. The school and its Yinghua Academy district share the same name, so district-level figures are also school-level figures. Because there is only one school here, there are no local peers to compare against — the useful comparisons are against Minnesota state averages and prior-year results.
Yinghua Academy is an elite statewide performer. For 2025–2026 it ranks #2 of 458 Minnesota districts (100th percentile, 5 stars) and #11 of 869 ranked schools (99th percentile, 5 stars) — roughly the top 1% of schools. That is an improvement from #33 of 872 in 2024–2025 and #31 of 881 in 2023–2024, both of which were 96th percentile with 5 stars. Proficiency is high across the board: Math, All Grades is 88.7% versus 44.9% statewide; Reading is 76.9% versus 48.6%; and Science is 59.2% versus 25.5%, more than double the state figure. Math is nearly double the state average.
Grade-level results are consistently strong. Every tested math grade beats the state by at least 33.9 points, from 93.6% in 4th grade down to 75.6% in 6th — still 36.1 points above the state. Reading is above state at every grade, with the smallest gap in 3rd grade (+17.7 points) and the largest in 7th (+37.4), peaking at 84.9% in 6th grade. In science, 8th grade scores 56.3% versus 16.7% statewide. Year over year, Yinghua improved in Math (+3.85 points), Reading (+4.08), and Science (+16.94) while state averages slipped slightly. For context, its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch rate was 16.57% and its student-teacher ratio was 13.4; the data include no benchmarks for these, so they should not be read as performance measures.
