Summary

Justice Page Middle is a grades 6–8 public school in the Minneapolis Public School District in Minneapolis, MN, enrolling 1,020 students, with a 2024–25 free/reduced lunch rate of 35.69% and a student-teacher ratio of 21.8. In 2025–26 it ranked 50th of 546 Minnesota middle schools — the 91st percentile, with 5 stars — while the district as a whole ranked in the 32nd percentile with 2 stars. The school has climbed steadily over the past decade, from the 57th percentile in 2015–16 to 91st in 2025–26.

Justice Page is above the district in all three subjects and above the state in math and reading. In 2025–26, math proficiency was 52.2% (district 37.1%, state 44.9%) and reading 63.4% (district 41.8%, state 48.6%). Reading is strong in every grade — 67.3% in 6th, 61.8% in 7th, and 60.1% in 8th — while math ranges from 46.4% in 8th grade to 58.1% in 7th. Eighth-grade science came in at 25.5%, well above the district's 14.6% and the state's 16.7% for that grade, though all-grades science of 25.5% only matches the state and has been uneven from year to year. Compared with nearby schools, Justice Page far outpaces Andersen Middle, Richfield Middle, and Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop, and roughly matches higher-ranked Anthony Middle and Seven Hills - Richfield Middle despite serving more low-income students and having the largest classes among nearby schools.

Subgroup effectiveness improved broadly in 2025–26: students in special education rose from the 61st to the 87th percentile, English language learners from 6th to 55th, and low-income students from 18th to 42nd. Those measures still sit below the school's overall 91st percentile, and the 21.8 student-teacher ratio is the highest among nearby schools — the main points to watch.

Open Quote My son is in 7th grade at Justice Page Middle School and he says the teachers don't know what they're doing 50 of the time. The students in the halls during passing time are absolutely horrible. They push him around and the teachers don't do anything. In my opinion, keep your kids away from this school. Close Quote

Open Quote New principal is fantastic, she was given the task of cleaning up the mess left by the previous principals. The first one ditched the school just before the start of the school year in 2014. Then the district put in someone who was obviously not capable, or interested, in the job. Finally the current principal was hired and in one year made a huge positive impact. She resolved some major issues immediately, replaced teachers who were not effective, set up clear lines of communication and restored order amongst students, but all was done with respect to students and families. The teachers do a great job of challenging kids of all levels of learning. My child is in his third year, 8th grade, and loves it! Close Quote

Open Quote Extremely poor school, no way to get homework assignments, progress, class disruptions, little follow up, starting going downhill couple years ago with high principals turnover and new principal needs to go too. Close Quote
