Elementary Schools in Bultum Academy Charter School

Summary:

Bultum Academy is the sole elementary school located within the Bultum Academy Charter School district in Minnesota, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 232 students.

Bultum Academy is struggling academically, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past two years, going from 657 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 676 out of 872 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.93% in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.

The school's overall performance and declining rankings indicate that it may need to implement significant improvements and interventions to better support its students and improve their educational outcomes.
