Summary:
The Kaleidoscope Charter School district in Minnesota operates three schools: Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School, Kaleidoscope Middle School, and Kaleidoscope Charter High School. The district serves students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the varying free and reduced lunch rates across the schools.
Among the three schools, Kaleidoscope Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 258 out of 519 Minnesota middle schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. The middle school also outperformed the district and state averages in reading proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School struggled with math and reading proficiency, consistently scoring below the district and state averages.
At the high school level, Kaleidoscope Charter High School maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and had a lower dropout rate compared to the other schools. However, the high school's performance was mixed, with 10th-grade reading proficiency above the district and state, but 11th-grade math proficiency well below. These inconsistencies across the schools within the Kaleidoscope Charter School district suggest a need for the district to examine the factors contributing to the differences in academic achievement and implement strategies to improve consistency.
