Summary

Insight School Of Minnesota is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, with around 400 students. However, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, placing it in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools over the past 10 years.

Insight School Of Minnesota faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school performs particularly poorly for female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Minnesota high schools for these groups. Additionally, the school has seen its 4-year graduation rate decline from 83.3% in 2022-2023 to 57.9% in 2023-2024, while its dropout rate has increased from 4.5% to 12.6% over the same period. Academically, Insight School Of Minnesota students perform well below state and district averages on standardized tests in math, reading, and science across all grade levels.

In contrast, the nearby Brooklyn Center High School and Park Center IB World School, which are also part of the Brooklyn Center Community Schools district, perform significantly better on measures like graduation rates, test scores, and student-teacher ratios. This stark contrast suggests that the virtual school model may face unique challenges in effectively serving its student population, and that the school and district need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes at Insight School Of Minnesota.
