Summary

St. Cloud Math & Science Middle is a small public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, with just 85 students. The school is part of the Saint Cloud Math and Science Academy district, which is ranked 375 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The academic performance at St. Cloud Math & Science Middle is a significant concern, as the school consistently performs below the state average in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. In 2024-2025, the school's math proficiency rate was 15.46%, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and its reading proficiency rate was 35.05%, compared to the state's 49.59%. This is significantly lower than the nearby public middle schools, such as Albany Area Middle School, Becker Middle, and Sartell Middle, which all have math and reading proficiency rates well above the state average.

One potential factor contributing to the school's low academic performance is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which stands at 96.47% in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby public middle schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 20.85% to 35.9%. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 18.8 is higher than the ratios at the nearby public middle schools, which range from 15.5 to 19.9. These factors may indicate that St. Cloud Math & Science Middle is facing challenges in terms of resources and support for its students.
