Summary

iQ Academy K-5 is a public virtual elementary school located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, serving 122 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Fergus Falls Public School District, which is ranked 202 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Fergus Falls district, iQ Academy K-5 consistently underperforms both the district and the state of Minnesota on standardized tests in math and reading. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 33.33% of all grades at iQ Academy K-5 were proficient or better in math, compared to 52.91% for the Fergus Falls district and 45.21% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade math, where only 6.25% of students were proficient or better, compared to 48.84% for the district and 42.94% for the state. Additionally, iQ Academy K-5 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a ranking of 561 out of 872 in 2024-2025 and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One potential factor contributing to iQ Academy K-5's underperformance is the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.39% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby McKinley Elementary (45.78%) and Adams Elementary (42.32%), which consistently outperform iQ Academy K-5 on standardized tests and have higher school rankings. As a virtual school, iQ Academy K-5 may also face unique challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, which could contribute to its declining performance over the years.
