Summary

Success Academy St. Cloud - Middle is a very small grades 6–8 public middle school in Saint Cloud, MN, serving just 46 students as part of the Success Academy district. For 2025–2026, it ranks 544th of 546 Minnesota middle schools — the 0th percentile, with 0 stars — while its district ranks 413th of 458, at the 10th percentile with 1 star. Reported all-grade proficiency is 9.7% in both Math and Reading, well below the district's 17.8% Math and 25.6% Reading and below the state's 44.9% Math and 48.6% Reading. Science for 2025–2026 is suppressed by the state; the last reported all-grade Science result, for 2024–2025, was 0%. In 2024–2025, 93.48% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.3.

Nearby schools show how far the gap extends. St. Cloud Math & Science Middle, with an even higher free/reduced lunch rate of 100%, scores 27.7% in Math and 30.5% in Reading and ranks 395th of 546. North Junior High, at 71.94% free/reduced lunch, scores 20.7% Math and 27.4% Reading, and South Junior High scores 22% Math and 33.1% Reading. Success Academy's reported student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is similar to or lower than several neighbors, including Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School at 19.6 and Becker Middle at 18.5, so class size is not an obvious explanation in the reported data.

Grade-level results show severe weakness where data are available: 6th-grade Math is 6.3% and Reading 12.5%, while 7th-grade Math and Reading are both 0%, with 8th-grade figures suppressed. The only reported subgroup rank, for African American Students, is 185th of 185 at the 0th percentile with 0 stars — a school-effectiveness signal about how the school serves that group, not a statement about the students themselves. Only one year of rank history is shown, and because the school enrolls just 46 students, grade-level percentages rest on very small numbers and can be volatile.
