Summary:

Aspire Academy Charter School in Shakopee, Minnesota is a two-school district serving kindergarten through 8th grade, with Aspire Academy Elementary covering grades K–5 (163 students) and Aspire Academy Middle School covering grades 6–8 (42 students), for a combined 205 students. Elementary students make up about 79.5% of enrollment. Both schools serve a high-poverty population, with free or reduced lunch at 85.89% at the elementary and 85.71% at the middle school. The district itself ranks 408 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 11th percentile with 1 star.

The middle school produced the strongest single result in this listing: in 2024–2025 its reading proficiency was 45.65%, above the district's 27.68% and only about 3.9 points below the state's 49.59%, earning a rank of 350 of 519 (33rd percentile, 2 stars). That result did not hold — in 2025–2026 the middle school fell to 480 of 546 (12th percentile, 1 star), with math at 7.7% and reading at 27.5%. The elementary school moved the other way, with its rank percentile rising from 1 in 2023–2024 to 4 in 2024–2025 to 16 in 2025–2026, and its 2025–2026 math (27.1%) and reading (32.1%) above district averages (18.4% and 30.2%), though still below state averages.

Both schools trailed the state in every reported aggregate subject in 2025–2026. Science is a consistent weak point: elementary 5th-grade science was 4.8% versus 25.9% statewide, and middle school science was an exact 0% in 2024–2025; the 2025–2026 middle school science figure is suppressed and should be treated as unknown rather than as a zero. Middle school grade-level results rest on very small cohorts, and its student-teacher ratio of 3.6 (against 19.9 at the elementary school) means percentages can swing widely from year to year. Elementary 5th-grade math, at 5%, is another sharp weak point.
