Summary:
KIPP Minnesota Charter School includes just one elementary school, KIPP North Star Primary, a K–4 school with 124 students located at 5034 Oliver Ave N in Minneapolis. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, the district's elementary results essentially reflect this one school. District-wide, KIPP Minnesota Charter School ranks 450 out of 458 with 0 stars, and 91.13% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio was 9.5 in 2024–2025.
Statewide rankings place the school at or near the bottom in each of the last three reported years: 881 out of 881 in 2023–2024, 868 out of 872 in 2024–2025, and 867 out of 869 in 2025–2026, with a percentile of 0 and 0 stars each year. Proficiency is far below state averages in every reported subject and grade. In 2025–2026, All Grades Math was 4.5% proficient versus 44.9% statewide, and All Grades Reading was 11.4% versus 48.6%. By grade, 3rd grade math was 7.1% (state 57.9%), 4th grade math 0% (state 55.2%), 3rd grade reading 10.7% (state 46.8%), and 4th grade reading 12.5% (state 48.8%).
Year over year, math slipped from 8.33% to 4.5% while reading rose from 6.38% to 11.4%; note that the reading exam label changed between years, so that gain should be read with caution. Reading was the relative bright spot, running about 6.9 percentage points above math in 2025–2026, though still roughly 37 percentage points below the state. With only 124 students in grades K–4, grade-level percentages rest on very small groups and can swing widely — a 0% result in 4th grade math is one example. A small student-teacher ratio and high need coexist with proficiency well below state averages.
