Summary

Skyline Math and Science Academy is a public charter elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 188 students in grades K-6. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools.

Skyline Math and Science Academy's academic performance is significantly lower than the state average and nearby schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10% of students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to the state average of 45.21%. In reading, only 8.33% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 49.59%. This trend has persisted over the past several years, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, who all ranked in the bottom 10% of Minnesota elementary schools in both math and reading.

Skyline Math and Science Academy's challenges are not unique, as nearby charter schools like Bdote Learning Center and Minnesota Transitions Charter Elementary also perform poorly compared to the state average. However, these schools still outperform Skyline Math and Science Academy. The school's high concentration of low-income students, as evidenced by the free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 89.36% to 93.58% over the past 3 years, likely plays a significant role in its academic challenges. Nearby schools with lower poverty rates, such as Seward Elementary and Sullivan Elementary, tend to have higher academic performance.
