Summary

Success Academy Bloomington Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving 126 students in grades K-5 in Bloomington, Minnesota. The school is part of the Success Academy district, which is ranked 386 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in Bloomington, Success Academy Bloomington Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 5 years, with proficiency rates in math and reading significantly below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 20.69% in math and 25.86% in reading, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. Nearby public charter schools, such as Seven Hills - Richfield Elementary and Seven Hills - Bloomington Elementary, have significantly higher proficiency rates, often exceeding 50%.

The school serves a high-need student population, with 96.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's student population is diverse, with a higher percentage of African American and English Language Learner students compared to the state averages, these subgroups still perform below their peers at the state level. The school's overall environment and quality may also be a concern, as indicated by its low district rank and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

I applied to send my son here the only way they have available -- by submitting a Google form through their website. I was never contacted regarding my application. We live in the neighborhood and this is the closest school to us. I believe we were not contacted because we do not match their target demographic which is East African and Muslim. I believe they have exclusionary, discriminatory admission policies. Close Quote
