436^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 546 Minnesota Middle Schools

Better than 20% of Minnesota middle schools

Summary

279Online Learning Program 6-8 is a small virtual middle school in the Minneapolis-area suburb of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades 6–8 with just 78 students as part of the Osseo Public School District. It currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks 436th of 546 Minnesota middle schools (20th percentile) for 2025–2026, while the district as a whole sits at 2 stars (285th of 458, 38th percentile).

Proficiency trails both the district and the state: 11.6% in math (district 41.8%, state 44.9%), 30.2% in reading (44.6%, 48.6%), and 13.3% in science (20.1%, 25.5%). Grade-8 science is the exception, edging the district's 13.1%. Classes here are the smallest in the comparison group, at 7.2 students per teacher — roughly a third of Maple Grove Middle School's 22.0 — yet results do not reflect that advantage. Compared with nearby North View Middle School, 279Online is lower in math (11.6% vs. 15.8%) and slightly higher in reading (30.2% vs. 28.7%), but more than doubles its science score (13.3% vs. 6.0%). Brooklyn Middle STEAM School and The FAIR School - Crystal outperform 279Online across all subjects.

There are real bright spots. The school's state ranking has climbed from the 12th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025–2026, and reading and science are recovering from 2023–2024 lows. Male students and students from low-income families improved markedly, moving from 0 stars to 3 stars (54th and 50th percentile). Math, however, has stayed in the 10–12% range for three cycles, and some student group data is outdated or unreported. Because each grade has only about 26 students, a single student shifts grade-level proficiency by roughly 4 percentage points, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
