Summary

Anishinabe Academy Elementary is a small PK–5 school at 3100 E 28th St in Minneapolis, MN, serving 183 students as part of the Minneapolis Public School District — the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools it is typically compared with.

Academically, the school has ranked in the bottom 1–3% of Minnesota elementary schools for ten straight reporting years, never rising above the 3rd percentile. In 2025-2026, 8.5% of students met standards in math and 14.5% in reading, compared with 37.1% and 41.8% district-wide; science proficiency was 0%, as it was in three of the last four years. One distinctive pattern stands out: reading improves as students move up grades (8.7% in 3rd grade to 25% in 5th), while math slips (17.4% down to 4.2%). Both math and reading have edged up slightly over the past three years.

The most useful comparisons are the nearby ones. Universal Academy Elementary, 0.38 miles away, serves a slightly higher-poverty population (92.7% vs 91.26% free/reduced lunch) yet achieves roughly four times Anishinabe's math proficiency. Sullivan Elementary, which shares the same building, posts about double the outcomes in every subject despite a larger student-teacher ratio. Howe Elementary, Seward Elementary, Pratt Elementary, Folwell Elementary, Aurora Charter School, Minnesota Transitions Charter Elementary, and Bdote Learning Center all outscore Anishinabe in math. With one of the lowest student-teacher ratios around (9.1) and only 183 students, class size and resources do not appear to explain the results. Because the school is so small, any single year's exact figure can swing; the overall direction of the data is what is most reliable.
