Summary

Andersen Middle is a public middle school located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,045 students. 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.

Andersen Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Minnesota middle schools, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.2% of Andersen Middle students were proficient in Math, compared to 45.21% statewide and 35.79% in the Minneapolis district. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status. Andersen Middle also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.3 to 20.4 over the past three school years.

Interestingly, the nearby Justice Page Middle and Sanford Middle schools, as well as several local charter schools like SET Academy Middle and Venture Academy Middle School, all outperform Andersen Middle in academic metrics, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that there is room for significant improvement in the school's educational practices and support systems.
