Summary

St. Cloud Math & Science Middle is a small charter school serving grades 6–8 at 1025 18th St N in Saint Cloud, MN, with about 91 students — roughly 30 per grade — which makes it the smallest middle school in its comparison group. It operates under the Saint Cloud Math and Science Academy district and ranked 395th of 546 Minnesota middle schools in 2025–26 (28th percentile, 1 star).

How you read this school depends a lot on what you compare it to. Against the other St. Cloud middle schools — North Junior High, South Junior High, and Success Academy St. Cloud - Middle, all within a few miles — it has the highest math proficiency (27.7%) and the highest 8th-grade science proficiency (12.5%). The schools posting much higher scores, such as Sartell Middle (70.3% math) and Albany Area Middle School, sit farther out in suburban and rural districts where far fewer families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, the highest in the group, and its student–teacher ratio of 12.7 is the most favorable of any nearby school — a sizable improvement from 18.8 the year before.

Its most encouraging numbers are at the subgroup level: low-income students, English learners, and African American students each rank at or above the state median, and every measured subgroup improved last year. Two things are worth watching. Reading has declined four years running, from 47.8% to 30.5%, and now sits slightly below the district's rate. Seventh grade is the weakest point, and female students remain the lowest-ranked group. With only about 91 students, single-year swings can reflect a handful of students rather than a real change.
