Elementary Schools in Minnesota Math and Science Academy

Summary:

The Minnesota Math and Science Academy district contains only one elementary school, MMSA Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the MCA-III in Math and Reading, is significantly below the state average, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools in recent years.

MMSA Elementary School has 207 students enrolled, with a student-teacher ratio of 14:1. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 98.07% in the 2023-2024 school year. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading tests were 10.32% and 21.26%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%. The school's performance on the MCA-III tests has been consistently low, with proficiency rates well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.

The data suggests that MMSA Elementary School is a low-performing school that is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students. The school's consistently low rankings, high poverty rates, and lack of improvement in test scores are all areas of concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address. While the school's performance is concerning, it is important to note that the school's racial makeup is not the sole factor contributing to its academic challenges, and any interventions should focus on addressing the specific educational needs of the students.
