Summary

Progeny Academy Charter School is a small K–8 charter school in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, serving 92 students and operating as its own single-school district. In 2024-25, 82.61% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, up from 76.47% in 2022-23. The student-teacher ratio has improved sharply, from 28.3 in 2022-23 to 13.7 in 2023-24 and 11.5 in 2024-25 — lower than most nearby schools, including Excell Academy Charter (15.8), New Millennium Academy Charter (15.4) and Northport Elementary (14.1). Only KIPP North Star Primary, at 9.5, is lower.

Academically, Progeny remains in the bottom tier of Minnesota schools, ranking 817th of 869 for 2025-26 — the 6th percentile, with 0 stars. In 2025-26, 7.4% of students were proficient in math and 18.5% in reading, compared with statewide rates of 44.9% and 48.6%. Both are below every nearby school except Brooklyn Center Elementary School (6.1% math, 10.9% reading) and KIPP North Star Primary (4.5% math, 11.4% reading). Science is a relative bright spot: 14.3% proficiency is higher than every nearby school with science results, which range from 0% at Twin Lakes STEM Academy to 13.6% at Northport Elementary, though it is still well under the state's 25.5%.

Grade-level results are uneven, and the school's small size makes them volatile. In 2025-26, math proficiency was 0% in 5th grade, 16.7% in 6th and 20% in 8th; reading was 8.3% in 5th, 25% in 6th and 50% in 8th; science was 0% in 5th and 30% in 8th. Third, fourth and seventh grades were suppressed by the state. The 8th-grade science result beats the state's 16.7% and 8th-grade reading matches the state, but weak 5th-grade scores pull down schoolwide averages. Trends show no sustained gains: math has moved from 2.86% to 6.85% to 4.23% to 7.4%, reading peaked at 25% in 2024-25 before falling, and science has swung between 3.03% and 18.18%. The only reported subgroup ranking placed low-income students 767th of 774 (1st percentile, 0 stars) in 2022-23.
