Summary:
Quantum STEAM Academy Middle School is the only middle school in the Quantum STEAM Academy Charter district, serving grades 5 through 8 to 72 students at 497 Humboldt Ave in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
By the numbers, the school ranks 482 of 546 Minnesota middle schools in 2025-2026 — the 12th percentile, or 1 star — and its district ranks 369 of 458 (19th percentile). Its percentile standing has slipped each year, from 20 to 13 to 12, and it has held a 1-star rating throughout. In 2025-2026, 10.8% of students were proficient in math (state: 44.9%), 23.1% in reading (state: 48.6%), and 6.7% in science (state: 25.5%). Reading is the school's relative bright spot but dropped sharply, from 35.59% to 23.1% in one year. Math barely moved, sitting near 10–11% for two years, and science nearly doubled from 3.45% but remains the lowest rate reported. At the grade level, 5th-grade math was an exact 0%, while 5th-grade reading was the school's best at 31.3%; 7th-grade reading was the lowest at 7.7%.
Parents should weigh these figures against the school's very small size. Roughly 65 students were tested, so a single student shifts a grade-level rate by 4.5 to 7.7 points, and science is reported only for grades 5 and 8. About 95.83% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 16:1. In short: a small, high-need charter middle school performing below state averages in all three tested subjects, with math weakest in absolute terms, reading strongest relative to the state but declining, and science improving from a very low base.
