Summary:
The city of East Bethel, Minnesota has only one school in the data set - Star of the North Academy Charter School, an elementary school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 187 students. The school's student population is diverse, with 46.52% African American, 20.32% Asian, and 31.02% White students. However, the school consistently underperforms the state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 50% across math, reading, and science.
The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 89.84% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, suggesting that class sizes are not overly large, which could indicate other systemic issues impacting student learning.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Star of the North Academy Charter School, with consistently low test scores, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and potential areas for improvement in curriculum, instruction, and support for students. While the school's diverse student population could present both opportunities and challenges, the data suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to better serve its community and improve educational outcomes for its students.
