Summary:

Hiawatha Academies is a three-school district in Minneapolis serving K–12 students across one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school, with 1,586 students enrolled. The district is ranked 433 of 458 in Minnesota — the 5th percentile — with 0 stars, and all three schools share that district-level rating. Poverty indicators are high network-wide: free/reduced-lunch rates run from 82.93% at the high school to 91.32% at the middle school, and student-teacher ratios range from 13.8 at the elementary school to 19.4 at the middle school.

Among the three, Hiawatha Collegiate High School is the relative standout: 744 students, 1 star in each of the last three years, and an 18th-percentile rank in 2025–2026. It posts the network's highest scores — 17.3% math, 17.1% reading, 18.9% science — and exceeds the district average in every subject. Even so, its graduation rate is 80.7% versus the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 4.9% versus 4.2%. Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop, the middle school, has the lowest math (4.9%) and science (4.0%) scores, the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (91.32%), the highest student-teacher ratio (19.4), and a rank that slipped from the 8th percentile to the 4th. Hiawatha Leadership Acdy-Northrop, the elementary school, ranks lowest overall at 845 of 869 (3rd percentile) but has one bright spot: 5th-grade reading at 23.0%.

Across the network, 2025–2026 district scores are 8.2% in math, 13.6% in reading, and 11.4% in science, against state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Grade-level results show severe extremes: 2.4% in middle-school 7th-grade math and 2.4% in elementary 3rd-grade reading, and the largest state gap is elementary 3rd-grade math at 6.0% versus 57.9%. Poverty and staffing patterns line up with results in places — the middle school has both the highest poverty rate and the weakest math and science — but the elementary school has the smallest classes and remains the lowest-ranked, so those factors alone do not explain the differences.
