Summary:
Beacon Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Beacon Academy district in Minnesota, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 521 students. Based on the available data, Beacon Academy does not appear to be a standout school, as its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years and it is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Academically, Beacon Academy's proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels, particularly in Math, where proficiency rates range from just 9.33% in 6th grade to 42.5% in 3rd grade. The school's Science proficiency rates are also low, with an overall rate of 21.93% in 2023-2024 compared to the state average of 39.56%. These academic struggles suggest that Beacon Academy is not effectively meeting the needs of its students.
Socioeconomically, Beacon Academy has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.4% in 2023-2024. The school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1, which could be a positive factor, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance based on the available data. Overall, the analysis of Beacon Academy's data indicates that the school is underperforming compared to state averages and is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in the areas of Math and Science.
