Summary:
ZIP code 55443 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota is home to exactly one middle school: Brooklyn Middle STEAM School, a grades 6–8 school with 931 students in the Osseo Public School District. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, there is no local peer school to compare it against; the most useful comparisons are to its own past performance and to district and state averages.
The school's story is one of steady improvement from a low starting point. Its state rank climbed from 425th of 545 in 2023–2024 to 391st of 519 in 2024–2025 to 373rd of 546 in 2025–2026 — a 52-position gain in two years — while its percentile rose from 22nd to 25th to 32nd and its rating moved from 1 star to 2 stars. All three subjects improved year over year: math from 21.63% to 23.4%, reading from 36.99% to 38.0%, and science from 6.84% to 11.9%. Reading is the relative bright spot, with all-grade proficiency of 38.0% (6.6 points below the district and 10.6 points below the state), and 8th-grade reading hits 42.9%, just 5.3 points behind the district. Math is the largest gap at 23.4% proficient versus 41.8% district and 44.9% state, with Math 7 especially low at 19.4%. Science remains the weakest subject at 11.9%, only about 1 in 8 students proficient, though that is a +5.06 point jump.
Parents should note that grade 8 outperforms grades 6 and 7 in both math and reading, and that the school is narrowing these gaps while district and state math rates slipped slightly. With 61.76% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and a 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio, the upward trend is encouraging — but math and science remain the clearest priorities.
