Summary

New Dominion Academy is a public alternative school at 1111 28th St NE in Austin, MN, serving grades K–12 as part of the Austin Public School District, with a reported enrollment of just 1 student — by far the smallest school among nearby alternatives. Its own district ranks 388th of 458 statewide (15th percentile, 1 star), and its closest peer is Austin Community Learning Center, 2.49 miles away.

On 2025–26 MCA tests (all grades), the school reports 5.4% proficient in math, 7.0% in reading, and 0% in science. That is below its district (math 26.8%, reading 33.7%, science 13%) and far below the state (math 44.9%, reading 48.6%, science 25.5%). In plain terms, math is about 21 points below the district and 39.5 points below the state; reading is 26.7 and 41.6 points below; science is 13 and 25.5 points below. The science zero is an exact reported figure, not a state-suppressed one, and 8th-grade science is also 0% against 16.7% statewide. Among nearby schools, only Oakland Education Center posts comparable scores, and it is higher in both available subjects (math 12.5, reading 16.7). Four of the five nearby alternatives — Austin Community Learning Center, Reset, Success East, and Enrich GM — have all-grade math and reading results suppressed by the state.

Reading is the biggest change over time: it ran 34.09% in 2022–23, essentially matching the district that year, then fell to 23.53%, 20.83%, and 7.0%. Math has stayed low throughout (0% → 7.32% → 2.33% → 5.4%), and science has drifted from 13.79% to 0% while the state science exam and benchmark also changed. Two cautions matter here. First, the reported enrollment of 1 does not square with percentages published across multiple grades, so treat that figure as unreliable and focus on direction rather than exact rates; most grade-level results are suppressed, which means unknown, not zero. Second, New Dominion reports no free/reduced-lunch or student–teacher ratio data, while peers report free/reduced lunch from 65.52% to 81.25% and ratios of 3.6 to 11.1. At this scale, a single student moving in or out can shift results sharply.
