Summary

Escuela Exitos is a K–8 charter school in New Hope, MN, part of the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, serving 231 students as the only school in the Escuela Exitos Charter School district.

In 2025–2026, Escuela Exitos ranked 854th of 869 Minnesota schools—2nd percentile with 0 stars—and has stayed in the bottom 0–4th percentile for four straight years. All-grade proficiency was just 7.5% in Math, 7.5% in Reading, and 4.8% in Science, compared with state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. It had the lowest Math and Reading proficiency among nearby schools with test data, and its Science was essentially tied with Prairie Seeds Elementary School Academy at 4.7%. By contrast, Zachary Lane Elementary and FAIR School Pilgrim Lane both ranked around the 61st percentile and exceeded state averages in Math and Reading, while Robbinsdale Spanish Immersion Elementary performed near or above state averages. Even lower-performing nearby schools like Meadow Lake Elementary, Sonnesyn Elementary, and Forest Elementary had higher Math and Reading results.

One notable pattern is that simpler explanations do not fully account for the gap. Escuela Exitos’s free/reduced-lunch rate fell from 94.07% in 2022–2023 to 59.74% in 2024–2025, and its student-teacher ratio improved from 21.5 to 12.6. Those figures are now more favorable than most nearby schools—Meadow Lake had 82.79% FRL, Sonnesyn 74.76%, and Neill Elementary 72.98%, while only Neill (11.8) and Sonnesyn (12.2) had lower ratios—yet proficiency remained lowest locally. The school’s relative effectiveness for English Language Learner students was slightly stronger than its overall rank, with a 13th percentile and 1 star, but still in the bottom quartile. Grade-level results also showed some 0% marks, which can happen with small groups but fit the persistent low pattern. Overall, the most urgent needs are core Math, Reading, and Science improvement, plus a deeper look at curriculum, instruction, and school climate.
