Summary

Prairie Seeds High School Academy is a public charter high school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving 256 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Prairie Seeds Academy district, which is ranked 380 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prairie Seeds High School Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota high schools, with a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5 over the past 8 years. The school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are significantly below the state averages in both math and reading, and its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 76% and 89.5%, generally lower than the state average. The school also has higher dropout rates than the state average, ranging from 1.4% to 4.5% in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby Alternative Learning Center Senior High and Robbinsdale Transition Center also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of poverty and dropout, indicating that this is a broader issue in the local area. However, Prairie Seeds High School Academy has shown relatively stronger performance for its English Language Learner (ELL) student population compared to other Minnesota high schools, suggesting that the school may have developed effective strategies or programs to support this group of students.
