Summary:
Elementary Schools in the Aspire Academy Charter School area consist of a single campus: Aspire Academy Elementary, a K–5 school in Shakopee, Minnesota with 163 students. Because it is the only school in the district, its results are also the district's results. The district ranks 408 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 11th percentile with 1 star, and the school itself ranked 730 of 869 schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 16th percentile with 1 star.
In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 27.1% in math, 32.1% in reading, and 4.8% in science, compared with state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. That puts the school 17.8 points below the state in math, 16.5 points below in reading, and 20.7 points below in science. Even so, the school outperformed its own district in math (27.1% vs. 18.4%) and reading (32.1% vs. 30.2%). Growth from 2024–2025 is notable: math rose from 15.15% to 27.1% (+11.95 points) and reading from 15.15% to 32.1% (+16.95 points), while science slipped slightly from 5.56% to 4.8%. Reading in particular flipped from 12.53 points behind the district in 2024–2025 to 1.9 points ahead in 2025–2026, and the school's state rank moved from the 1st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 16th percentile now.
Grade-level results show where the strengths and gaps sit. Third-grade math (54.5%) is close to the state's 57.9%, a gap of just 3.4 points, and 5th-grade reading (40%) is the school's best reading result by grade, though still 14.5 points below the state's 54.5%. The sharpest concerns are 5th-grade math at 5% versus 41.9% statewide (a 36.9-point gap) and science, reported only for 5th grade, at 4.8% versus 25.9% statewide. Parents should also weigh context: 85.89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the student–teacher ratio is 19.9, and with only 163 students, year-to-year percentage changes can swing on a small number of students.
