Summary:
ZIP code 55445 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota has three schools: two elementary and one middle, serving grades K–8. There is no public high school in the ZIP, so students leave the area for grades 9–12. Two schools — Noble Academy Elementary (K–6, 395 students) and Noble Academy Middle School (7–8, 138 students) — belong to the Noble Academy district. The third, Nasha Shkola Charter School (PK–8, 138 students), is its own single-school district, so its school and district scores are identical. All three serve high-poverty populations, with free/reduced-lunch rates between roughly 69% and 79% (about 72% across the ZIP).
Nasha Shkola Charter School is the standout. It ranks 216th of 458 districts (53rd percentile, 3 stars), while Noble Academy ranks 359th (22nd percentile, 1 star). Nasha Shkola is the only school here above the state in 2025–2026 all-grade Math (48.2% vs 44.9%) and comes closest in Reading (46.3% vs 48.6%), despite having the highest free/reduced-lunch rate of the three (78.99%). Noble Academy Elementary is the largest school but has stayed in the mid-to-high 20s percentile with 1 star for three straight years, trailing the state in Math (40.6%), Reading (32.0%) and Science (11.3%). Noble Academy Middle School has the lowest current results — Math 25.2%, Reading 32.6%, Science 7.8% — after a brief rise to 42nd percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025.
Science is a shared weak spot: every school is below the state's 25.5%, by roughly 14 to 18 points. Reading is below state everywhere, though the gap is far smaller at Nasha Shkola (-2.3 points) than at the two Noble Academy schools (about -16 points each). Parents should also note that Nasha Shkola's 7th/8th-grade Math and Reading and 8th-grade Science scores are suppressed by the state for privacy reasons and are unknown, not zero, so its strong all-grade results may come largely from its elementary grades.
