Global Academy

Schools in Global Academy consist of one public K–8 school, Global Academy, in New Brighton, Minnesota, and it is the only school in the Global Academy district.

The school enrolls 447 students and has a 2-star rating. Its district rank is 292 of 458 (36th percentile), and its school rank has been around 39th percentile in Minnesota for the last two years. Overall, reading is close to state average (48.2 vs. 48.6), while math is 32 vs. 44.9 and science is 19.8 vs. 25.5. Standout grade-level results include 3rd grade math at 61.2 vs. 57.9, 5th grade reading at 60.7 vs. 54.5, and 7th grade reading at 54.2 vs. 43.5. The largest gaps are 6th grade math at 16.3 vs. 39.5 and 6th grade reading at 38.5 vs. 53.4. Science improved from 10.28 in 2024–2025 to 19.8 in 2025–2026, but remains below state.

For parents, the key takeaway is that reading is the closest subject to state expectations, with strong pockets in 5th and 7th grade, but math is the clearest area of concern, especially in grades 4 through 8 and most sharply in 6th grade. Science also remains below state despite a large one-year gain. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 89.04% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and its reported student-teacher ratio is 12.9. Because it is a single-school district, district scores mirror school scores exactly, so comparisons are best made against state averages or grade-level trends. The school is classified as Elementary but serves K–8, and its stable but lower-middle ranking suggests that middle-grade math and science are important areas to watch.
