Elementary Schools in FIT Academy

Summary:

FIT Academy is the sole elementary school located in Apple Valley, Minnesota, serving students in grades K-5. With an enrollment of 249 students, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11:1, but its academic performance lags behind the state averages.

FIT Academy is ranked 316 out of 446 schools in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 590 out of 845 in 2022-2023 to 559 out of 872 in 2024-2025. Academically, FIT Academy's proficiency rates in Math and Reading are lower than the state averages, with particularly low performance in 5th grade Math at only 15% proficient compared to 42.94% statewide.

The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 45.78% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by FIT Academy. While the favorable student-teacher ratio could be a strength, it does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes for the students. Overall, the data suggests that FIT Academy is an underperforming school that needs to address its academic deficiencies to better serve the students in the Apple Valley community.
