Urban Academy


Summary:

Urban Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. With consistently low performance on standardized tests and a ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state, this school faces significant challenges in effectively educating its predominantly low-income and Asian student population.

According to the data, Urban Academy has a student enrollment of 445, with a racial makeup of 84.27% Asian, 13.48% African American, and small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school's student-teacher ratio is 16.4 to 1, and 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student body. Unfortunately, the school's performance on the MCA-III tests in Math, Reading, and Science is consistently below the state average across all grade levels, suggesting that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its students.

While the data does not reveal any standout schools in the Urban Academy district, the consistent underperformance of the lone school raises concerns about the overall educational opportunities available to students in this area. The lack of racial diversity and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors to the school's challenges, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes for the students at Urban Academy.
