Summary

FIT Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Apple Valley, Minnesota, serving 249 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school is part of the FIT Academy District, which is ranked 316 out of 446 districts in the state, FIT Academy itself faces several academic challenges.

FIT Academy's academic performance, as measured by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is generally lower than the state average across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 40.98% of FIT Academy students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to the state average of 45.21%. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th-grade Math, where only 15% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 42.94%. FIT Academy's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and white students performing relatively poorly compared to their peers.

While FIT Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11 students per teacher, the school's academic performance is lower than many of the nearby schools in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, such as Diamond Path Elementary School of International Studies, Cedar Park Elementary STEM School, and Greenleaf Elementary. To improve, FIT Academy may need to focus on addressing these disparities and implementing more effective instructional strategies to raise student achievement across all grades and subjects.
