Summary:
The FIT Academy district in Minnesota operates two schools: FIT Academy (an elementary school) and FIT Academy High School. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Minnesota over the past few years, indicating overall below-average performance.
The elementary school has relatively low statewide rankings and below-average proficiency rates in Math and Reading, particularly in 5th grade. The high school also has a low statewide ranking and concerning math proficiency rates, with only 18.85% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 45.21%. Both schools have a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, over 45%, suggesting a high-need student population that may require additional resources and support.
While the high school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2%, it also has a concerning dropout rate of 4.4%. The stark difference in student-teacher ratios between the elementary school (11:1) and high school (28.4:1) may contribute to the varying academic performance, as smaller class sizes can be beneficial for student learning, especially in the earlier grades.
