Summary

MN International Middle Chr School is a middle school in Minneapolis, MN that serves about 326 students in grades 6–8 and belongs to Twin Cities International Schools. Nearly every student is economically disadvantaged — free/reduced lunch was 99.39% in 2024–2025 — and the school's student–teacher ratio jumped to 29.6 that year, up from 16.8 the year before. Statewide, the school ranked 426th of 546 middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 22nd percentile with 1 star, and its district ranked 389th of 458. Even so, its percentile has climbed four years running, from 11 in 2022–2023 to 15, 18, and finally 22.

Reading is the school's relative bright spot: 29.7% of students tested proficient in 2025–2026, slightly above the district's 27.6% but below the state's 48.6%. Math proficiency was 22.0% (district 26.5%, state 44.9%) and science just 8.0% (district 9.6%, state 25.5%). Eighth-grade reading, at 36%, is the strongest single result in the data, while 8th-grade science, at 8%, is about half the state's 16.7% average for that grade. Math has improved steadily, from 8.86% in 2022–2023 to 22.0% in 2025–2026, while reading has drifted between roughly 28% and 33%.

Compared with 10 nearby middle schools, MN International holds up well — it has the third-highest rank percentile and outperforms eight of the ten in math, reading, and science. Franklin Middle, less than half a mile away, posts lower results (10th percentile; 10.9% math, 21.7% reading, 3.9% science) with a far lower poverty rate and a student–teacher ratio nearly three times smaller. Only Andersen Middle and Northeast Middle rank higher nearby. Looking at groups within the school, English Language Learner students (53rd percentile) and African American students (63rd percentile) rank above the state median with 3 stars, and low-income students rose from the 26th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 41st. Overall, the school remains in the bottom quarter statewide despite encouraging upward movement.
