The Hmong College Prep Academy Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past three school years, with rankings between 802 and 814 out of 845-881 schools. The school's performance on the MCA-III standardized tests is significantly below the state averages across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates of just 19.39% in math and 20.97% in reading, compared to state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which is lower than the state average, the Hmong College Prep Academy Elementary School struggles to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 85.22% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown that poverty can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.
