Art and Science Academy

The Art and Science Academy district in Minnesota operates two public charter schools: Art and Science Academy Elementary School and Art & Science Academy Middle School. While both schools serve students in the district, they have seen varying levels of academic performance in recent years.

The Art and Science Academy Elementary School is ranked 591 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. Its proficiency rates in Math and Reading are below the state average, ranging from 36.59% to 45.45% across different grade levels and subjects. In contrast, the Art & Science Academy Middle School is ranked 370 out of 519 Minnesota middle schools, with a 1-star rating. Its proficiency rates in Math are significantly lower than the state average, ranging from 0% to 26.83%, while its Reading proficiency rates are closer to the state average, ranging from 35.29% to 53.33%.

Both schools serve a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting they serve a community with lower socioeconomic status. This factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Overall, the data indicates that the Art and Science Academy schools are struggling to meet state academic standards, with the middle school performing particularly poorly in Math. Further investigation into the underlying factors and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes across the district.
