Summary

Northeast Middle is a 541-student grade 6–8 school in the Minneapolis Public School District in Minneapolis, MN. In 2025–2026, it ranked 421 of 546 Minnesota middle schools, placing in the 23rd percentile with 1 star. That is the school’s highest percentile in the provided history, but it is still bottom-quartile statewide. All-grade proficiency was 20.1% in math, 31.9% in reading, and 9.3% in science, below both district and state averages in every core subject. Science is especially low. About 63.59% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 21.3 to 14.1 over three years.

Compared with nearby schools, Northeast Middle is the strongest of the nearby Minneapolis Public School District middle schools. It outperforms Olson Middle and Franklin Middle in math, reading, and science, and it also beats nearby charters such as KIPP North Star Academy, Columbia Academy, and Prodeo Columbia Heights Middle. It is roughly tied with MN International Middle Chr School. However, it trails higher-performing nearby schools by large margins: St. Anthony Middle, about 1.05 miles away, scores 49.1% in math and 61.7% in reading, while Highview Middle School scores 42.2% and 49.5%. Murray Middle School, which has a similar free/reduced-lunch rate, also outperforms Northeast Middle. Northeast Middle's 14.1 student-teacher ratio is favorable compared with Murray Middle School (22.0) and MN International Middle Chr School (29.6), but results have not caught up.

Reading is Northeast Middle's stronger subject, while math and science need more attention. Eighth grade is the weakest grade level: math proficiency is 11.2%, reading is 25.7%, and science is 9.3%. Science proficiency fell from 15.61% in 2023–2024 to 9.3% in 2025–2026, though it rose from 6.51% in 2024–2025. The school also faces a significant equity challenge: low-income students rank in the 5th percentile statewide, while English language learners are at the 38th percentile and special education students at the 35th percentile. Overall, Northeast Middle is improving slightly from a very low base and is a relative bright spot among nearby Minneapolis Public School District middle schools, but it remains far behind nearby schools like St. Anthony Middle and Highview Middle School and below district and state averages in nearly every subject.
