Summary

Modern Montessori Charter School is a public charter school located in Champlin, Minnesota, serving 186 students in grades PK-7. The school is part of the Modern Montessori Charter School District, which is ranked 288 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Modern Montessori Charter School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby public schools. Over the past 5 years, the school has ranked between 599-700 out of 858-872 Minnesota elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 25.23% in math and 37.27% in reading, significantly lower than the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. When compared to a nearby public school, Oxbow Creek Elementary, the performance gap is even more pronounced, with Oxbow Creek achieving proficiency rates of 70.54% in math and 62.73% in reading.

The school's student population has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (26.34% in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White, and the school ranks in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools for White student performance. Despite its small student-teacher ratio of 11.5 in 2023-2024, which is lower than nearby public schools, Modern Montessori Charter School continues to struggle academically and may need to closely examine its instructional practices and strategies for supporting students from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, March 4, 2021

They do not respond to emails/phone calls. My student goes hungry everyday because they don’t allow enough time for lunch. They refused to address my concern about this for weeks. Finally they called me and yelled about how I should send softer food and cut it up into bite sized pieces.
We also had an issue with our child’s school bus driver driving away before he could sit down and he’d go flying. The bus driver also drives erratically, and my student could barley take a step off of the bus before he’d speed away. This is a major safety concern. I contacted the school and of course they didn’t get back to me. I ended up having to contact the bus company on my own. Once the woman to runs the school found out that I complained about this she called me yelling about how she doesn’t want to lose that bus driver. Really unprofessional. I am not impressed with the leadership at this school at all. Close Quote
