Summary

Hennepin Schools Upper Campus is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in Minneapolis, MN, with 194 students. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota middle schools, it demonstrates a complex picture of performance, with some promising results for certain student subgroups.

Academically, Hennepin Schools Upper Campus underperforms the state and Minneapolis Public School District averages on MCA-III proficiency rates in both math and reading. However, the school performs relatively well for its African American and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the top 35% and top 15% of Minnesota middle schools, respectively, in recent years. In contrast, the school's female students ranked in the bottom 10% of Minnesota middle schools in 2024-2025, while male students performed better, ranking in the top 35%.

Interestingly, Hennepin Schools Upper Campus has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.47% to 98.48% over the past three years, significantly higher than nearby public schools like Sanford Middle (35.18%) and Anthony Middle (23.27%). The school's small size, high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and relatively low student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its overall academic underperformance, though its success with certain subgroups suggests it may be employing effective strategies for those populations.
