Summary

Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary is a PK–5 charter school in Coon Rapids, Minnesota serving just 83 students, part of the Innovation Sci & Technical Academy district. Because it is so small — roughly 12–15 students per tested grade — one child can shift a percentage by 7–8 points, so single-year figures should be read as directional rather than exact. Nearly every student (95.18%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch, the highest concentration in this comparison group by a wide margin; the next closest is Hamilton Elementary at 65.22%, while the Anoka-Hennepin School District schools in this group range from 26.84% to 57.18%. The school's state rank has climbed from the 12th percentile (2023–2024) to 21st (2024–2025) to 31st (2025–2026).

Math is the bright spot. All-grades math proficiency has risen every year, from 20.83% in 2022–2023 to 42.4% in 2025–2026 — a gain of more than 21 points while the state stayed essentially flat — leaving it only 2.5 points below the state average and ahead of both Hamilton Elementary (42.0%) and Lincoln Elementary School for Arts (41.0%). Reading is the opposite story: at 36.4% it is the lowest result among all eleven schools compared here, 12.2 points below the state. It is also unusual in that math leads reading by 6 points, while most nearby schools score higher in reading than in math.

Where the school looks strongest is among its low-income students, who rank in the 67th percentile statewide — 36 points above the school's overall percentile, and up 45 points in two years. Class sizes are favorable as well, with a student–teacher ratio of 12.5, better than Wilson Elementary, Crooked Lake Elementary, and Oxbow Creek Elementary. Science is the biggest open question: the 2025–2026 result is state-suppressed, and the last available figure (8.33% in 2024–2025) was well below the state. One caveat worth repeating — free/reduced lunch has risen from 85.07% to 95.18% over two years, a real headwind that makes the math gains more meaningful, not less.
