Summary

Knights Academy is a public high school located in Saint Michael, Minnesota, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 47 students. The school is part of the St. Michael-Albertville Schools district, which is ranked 67th out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Knights Academy has consistently struggled academically. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.33% of 11th-grade students at Knights Academy were proficient or better in Math, compared to 54.19% for the St. Michael-Albertville Schools district and 34.96% for the state of Minnesota. Additionally, Knights Academy has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 1.4% to 21.8% in recent years, which are much higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other high schools in the St. Michael-Albertville Schools district, Knights Academy's performance is notably worse. For instance, St. Michael-Albertville Senior High, located just 2.12 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 15% of Minnesota high schools and has much higher proficiency rates on state assessments. The high percentage of students at Knights Academy who receive free or reduced-price lunch, which has increased from 24.49% in 2021-2022 to 48.94% in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges. However, the school's small size and its proximity to the Wings Transition Program also present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
