Summary:
Laura Jeffrey Academy Charter is the only school in its district — a middle school in Saint Paul, Minnesota serving grades 5–8 with 117 students. Because it is a single-school charter district, the school-level and district-level results are identical, so the Laura Jeffrey Academy Charter district entry describes this same school.
Reading is the school's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 64.8% of students were proficient in Reading versus 48.6% statewide, and every tested grade beat the state: 5th grade at 58.3%, 6th grade at 77.1%, 7th grade at 57.1%, and 8th grade at 60%. The 6th-grade result is a standout, 23.7 points above the state. Science was also above state overall (27.5% vs. 25.5%), with both tested grades ahead, though it fell sharply from 50% the prior year. Statewide, the school ranked 97th of 546 schools in 2025–2026 — the 82nd percentile with 4 stars — and has never dropped below the 78th percentile across the three years shown, including a 51st of 545, 91st-percentile, 5-star result in 2023–2024.
Math is the main area to watch: 35.4% proficient against 44.9% statewide, a gap of 9.5 points. Fifth-grade Math is the weakest spot at 18.2% versus 41.9% state, and only 8th grade exceeded the state average. Rankings and scores do not always move together — the 2025–2026 rank improved from 115th even as Reading and Science declined. With just 117 students across four grades, small cohorts can swing percentages, so year-to-year changes deserve caution. A reported student-teacher ratio of 6.9 and a free/reduced lunch rate of 15.38% round out the picture of a small, closely staffed school.
