Summary

Schoolcraft Learning Community is a small K–8 charter school in Bemidji, MN, serving 192 students at 8955 Deer School Rd as part of the Schoolcraft Learning Community Charter district. For 2025–26, it ranks 565 of 869 Minnesota schools — the 35th percentile, 2 stars — while its district ranks 251 of 458 (45th percentile, 2 stars). Proficiency is mixed: science is 34.1% (above the state's 25.5%), reading is 44.3% (state 48.6%), and math is 29% (state 44.9%).

Math is the clearest weakness. Fifth-grade math is 13.6% (state 41.9%) and seventh-grade math is 9.7% (state 40.3%), with even third grade at 40.9% below the state's 57.9%. Science is the standout bright spot, largely because 8th graders scored 47.4% proficient versus 16.7% statewide. Reading is uneven by grade: 27.3% in 3rd grade and 32.3% in 7th grade, but 62.5% in 6th grade and 63.2% in 8th grade, so upper-middle-school reading is above state while early and 7th-grade reading lag.

Compared with nearby schools, Schoolcraft trails most Bemidji Public School District elementaries in math — Lincoln Elementary (68.4%), Horace May Elementary (66.7%), Solway Elementary (59.5%), Northern Elementary (54.4%) — but is well ahead of J.W. Smith Elementary (18.5%) and the Red Lake Public School District and alternative charters such as Red Lake Elementary, Endazhi-Nitaawiging, and Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn, all under 10% in math. Schoolcraft's student-teacher ratio improved to 10:1 (from 11.5:1) and free/reduced lunch fell to 38.02% (from 48.31%), yet math and reading still declined over four years (math 39.71% to 29%, reading 52.9% to 44.3%), and its star rating slipped from 3 stars in 2020–21 and 2021–22 to 2 stars since. With only about 20–30 students per grade, year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
