Summary

Hall Academy Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 215 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 300 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small class sizes, with only 10.6 students per teacher, Hall Academy Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.25% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to 45.21% statewide and 35.79% in the district. The school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was just 3.7%, far below the state and district averages.

Nearby schools, such as Bethune Elementary and Twin Cities International Schools, also struggle academically but generally outperform Hall Academy Elementary. The school's poor performance and lack of improvement over the past decade suggest that significant interventions and support may be needed to improve educational outcomes for its students.

Elizabeth Hall is an excellent school. The teachers are amazing! I'd put them up against any staff anywhere. They work so hard to meet the needs of the 'high priority' students that come through the doors. The teachers write amazing units of inquiry that challenge all students. Come and visit - you'll be amazed the great work you see! Close Quote
