Summary:
Academic Arts High School is the only public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, with a total enrollment of 103 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be consistently underperforming compared to other Minnesota high schools, ranking in the bottom quartile for the past three school years.
The school's graduation rate of 84.2% in the 2023-2024 school year is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.4% is higher than the state average. Academically, Academic Arts High School's test scores in both math and reading are significantly below the state averages, with only 5.88% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in math and 36.36% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in reading, compared to state averages of 34.96% and 51.26%, respectively. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1 could be an advantage, but it has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
Overall, Academic Arts High School appears to be a struggling school that needs to address significant academic and performance challenges to better serve its students and community. Targeted interventions, curriculum and instructional improvements, and a focus on student engagement and support could be key areas for the school to address in order to improve student outcomes and better prepare them for success.
