Summary:
Twin Lakes STEM Academy is the sole elementary school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 203 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.
Twin Lakes STEM Academy has significantly below-average proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments compared to the state, with the school's lowest performing subject being Math. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 99.01% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1, the school's academic results suggest it is struggling to effectively support the needs of its students.
Given the consistently poor performance of Twin Lakes STEM Academy, there are clear opportunities for the district, school leadership, and community to collaborate on developing and implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes. This could include reviewing curriculum, instructional practices, teacher professional development, and student support services to address the root causes of the school's challenges and ensure students receive a high-quality education.
