Summary

Level Up Academy is a public charter elementary school located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, serving 141 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Level Up Academy District, which is ranked 398 out of 446 districts in the state.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of students from low-income families, Level Up Academy consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools like Willow Lane Elementary, O.H. Anderson Elementary, and Matoska International on standardized tests. The school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading are significantly lower than the state average, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Minnesota elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Level Up Academy also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, and white students in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools. While the school's rankings for low socioeconomic status students are better than other subgroups, they are still in the bottom half of the state. Despite the school's resources, it has not shown consistent improvement in its academic performance or school ranking over the past 8 years, indicating that the school may need to address the unique needs and challenges faced by its diverse student population.

The information on this website is not correct. My kids have been going to this school since they opened, and we/they love this school. Great school, staff & kids! Close Quote

This school is outstanding with really awesome staff members! This website has incorrect information. Test results reflect only those who chose to take the tests, which were optional. Our students are high achievers, and very motivated learners. We are focused mainly on STEAM, but also offer music, piano and band.
Come check out this awesome school, the best one I have taught at in my 20 years of teaching. Molly, the administrator is top-notch! Close Quote
