Summary

New Code Academy Middle School is a small public middle school in Bloomington, Minnesota, serving grades 6–8 with 71 students as part of Bloomington Public Schools. Despite its size, it has posted one of the sharpest improvements of any middle school in the state: it ranked 236th of 546 Minnesota middle schools (57th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26, up from 429th of 545 (21st percentile, 1 star) in 2023–24. That puts it above the district's 46th percentile and roughly even with Oak Grove Middle, though still behind higher-ranked neighbors such as Anthony Middle, Justice Page Middle, and Seven Hills - Richfield Middle.

Its academic profile is lopsided in a way parents should know about. Reading is a clear strength: 52% of students were proficient in 2025–26, above the district (42.3%) and the state (48.6%). Math is the opposite — only 16.7% proficient, well below the district's 39% and the state's 44.9%. Science landed at 25%, above the district's 19.9% and close to the state figure, but the school reported 0% in science the year before, a reminder that results at a school this small can swing sharply. State officials suppressed 6th- and 7th-grade math and reading scores, so only the 8th-grade breakdown is available. The school also has 11.8 students per teacher — lower than Olson Middle (14.3), Oak Grove (15.5), and Valley View Middle (13.9) — and its free/reduced-lunch rate has climbed to 71.83%.

Compared with Valley View, New Code shows similar math results but dramatically higher reading and science, despite similar poverty rates; compared with Olson, it is much weaker in math but competitive in reading and stronger in science. Its main watch item is equity: the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked in the 12th percentile in 2023–24 and female students in the 20th percentile in 2022–23, both below the school's overall ranking at the time. With low-income students now a large share of enrollment, it is unclear whether the recent overall gains have reached those groups.
