Summary:
Art & Science Academy Middle School is the only middle school in the Art and Science Academy district, serving grades 5–8 to roughly 125 students in Isanti, Minnesota, with 34.4% of students receiving free or reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 9.8 in 2024–2025. Because there is only one school here, results are best read against district, state, and prior-year figures rather than against another local school. Note that 7th-grade Math and Reading scores are suppressed for 2025–2026; those values are unknown, not zero.
Reading is this school's clearest relative strength. All-grades Reading proficiency was 41.8% in 2025–2026, above the district's 38.4% and only 6.8 points below the state's 48.6%, and 6th-grade Reading reached 50% against a state figure of 53.4%. Science also improved year over year, rising from 12.73% to 17.1%. Math remains the biggest concern: all-grades proficiency was 18.5%, compared with 44.9% statewide, and 8th-grade Math was 7.1% versus the state's 42.3% — a 35.2-point gap. Even the school's best reported Math grade, 6th grade at 20%, is about half the state average of 39.5%.
Overall, the school sits in the bottom third of Minnesota middle schools, ranking 399 of 546 at the 27th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, while the district ranks 366 of 458 at the 20th percentile with 1 star. Science gains come from a low base: 8th-grade Science is 7.7% versus the state's 16.7%, though 5th-grade Science is closer at 22.7% versus 25.9%. In short, families can expect a small school with a notably low student-teacher ratio and real strength in Reading, but performance below state averages in all three subjects, with Math the most urgent area.
