SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Minnesota elementary schools

Summary

Success Academy Bloomington Elementary is a small K–5 charter school in Bloomington, MN, enrolling 117 students in a high-poverty community, with 92.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. It belongs to the Success Academy district, which ranks 413 of 458 in Minnesota (10th percentile, 1 star). The school itself ranked 687 of 869 in 2025–26, placing it in the 21st percentile with 1 star — an improvement over the 12th percentile in 2024–25, but still in the bottom quartile. Its student-teacher ratio of 10.8 in 2024–25 is more favorable than several nearby schools.

In 2025–26, all-grade proficiency was 31.6% in math, 31% in reading, and 0% in science. That beats its own district in math (17.8%) and reading (25.6%) but trails the state in every subject, and the science result is tied for the lowest among nearby schools. The all-grade averages hide a sharp grade-level split: 3rd grade math reached 68.8% and reading 58.8%, both above the state and among the highest in the nearby comparison group, ahead of Seven Hills - Richfield Elementary in math. But 4th grade math fell to 26.1% and reading to 21.7%, and 5th grade dropped to 5.6% in math, 16.7% in reading, and 0% in science. Those weak upper-grade results pull the school's overall numbers down.

Some student groups fare better than the school's overall rank suggests. English learners ranked in the 68th percentile statewide with 3 stars, and African American students in the 45th percentile with 2 stars. Low-income students sat in the 24th percentile with 1 star. Context matters: at over 90% free/reduced lunch, the school serves a high-need population, and it outperforms high-poverty peers such as SciTech Academy Charter School and Horizon Science Academy Twin Cities in math, while trailing lower-poverty neighbors like Richfield Dual Language School and Richfield Stem School.

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
