Summary

STRIDE Academy Middle is a grades 5–8 middle school in Saint Cloud, MN, part of the STRIDE Academy district, with a reported enrollment of 0 in the provided data—almost certainly a missing or reporting anomaly rather than a true student count, so families should confirm the current enrollment directly. In 2025–2026, the school ranks 513th of 546 Minnesota schools, or 6th percentile with 0 stars, and its district ranks 439th of 458, or 4th percentile. That places it near the bottom of the state and below every nearby district, including Success Academy’s district at 10th percentile.

Across all grades, proficiency is well below state averages: math 8.2% vs. 44.9%, reading 23.1% vs. 48.6%, and science 4% vs. 25.5%. Math is lowest among nearby schools with data, trailing Success Academy St. Cloud - Middle (9.7%), North Junior High (20.7%), South Junior High (22%), Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School (27.1%), St. Cloud Math & Science Middle (27.7%), and higher-performing suburban schools like Rocori Middle (49.9%), Becker Middle (50%), Annandale Middle School (51.1%), Foley Intermediate Elementary (51.5%), and Sartell Middle (70.3%). Reading is the school’s comparatively stronger subject at 23.1%, but it still trails every nearby school except Success Academy St. Cloud - Middle. Science is a severe weakness at 4%, lowest nearby, compared with 6% at South Junior High and 26.4% at Sartell Middle.

Grade-level results show later middle school is especially hard: math falls from 15.5% in 5th grade to 1.3% in 8th grade, science falls from 5.9% to 1.4%, and reading dips to 17% in 7th before reaching 21.3% in 8th. The gaps to state rates are large across subjects—for example, 8th-grade math is 1.3% vs. 42.3% state—so these are not marginal differences. One relative bright spot: English learner and special education subgroup rankings are near the middle of comparable statewide schools (49th and 46th percentile, 2 stars), while the overall school remains at the 6th percentile. Because the school’s free/reduced-lunch rate and student-teacher ratio are missing from the data, poverty and class-size comparisons are limited, and high-poverty nearby schools still generally post higher proficiency than STRIDE Academy Middle.
