Summary:

ZIP code 55407 in Minneapolis contains three middle-level schools serving grades 5 through 8 — Andersen Middle (grades 6–8, 1,052 students), Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop (grades 6–8, 438 students), and Hennepin Schools Upper Campus (grades 5–8, 207 students) — and all three are high-poverty and score below Minnesota state averages in math, reading, and science.

Andersen Middle, part of Minneapolis Public School District, is the largest and most balanced performer: it has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (70.82%), the smallest classes (13.3 students per teacher), and the best all-grade math (26.3%) and reading (27.6%) results in the group. Hennepin Schools Upper Campus, in Hennepin Schools, has the highest poverty rate (96.14%) yet leads locally in science (13.4%) and posts strong 5th grade math (36.1%), 5th grade reading (37.1%), and 8th grade reading (37.8%). Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop, in Hiawatha Academies, trails badly in every subject — math 4.9%, reading 12.8%, science 4.0% — with 0 stars, a 4th-percentile rank, and the largest classes (19.4 students per teacher).

Trends separate the three further. Andersen improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in all three subjects and rose from the 16th to the 25th percentile in school rank. Hennepin gained in math and science but slipped in reading, and fell from the 41st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 18th. Hiawatha declined in all three subjects and remains the lowest-scoring school in the ZIP, with 7th grade math at just 2.4%. Across all three schools the gap to the state is narrower in science than in math or reading, and results vary sharply by grade — Andersen is steadier, while Hennepin is uneven from grade to grade.
