Athlos Leadership Academy

Athlos Leadership Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. This school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low test scores and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are well below the state averages in math, reading, and science across all grade levels. For example, the overall math proficiency rate at Athlos Leadership Academy is just 24.27%, compared to the state average of 45.47%. This suggests the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education and prepare its students for academic success.

The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (80.68%) indicates that Athlos Leadership Academy serves a population facing significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.
