Elementary Schools in Higher Ground Academy


Summary:

Higher Ground Academy, a school district in Minnesota, has only one elementary school within its boundaries - HGA Elementary. This school serves a predominantly African American student population, with a 100% minority enrollment, and faces significant challenges in academic performance and student support.

HGA Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in math and reading are well below the state averages, with only 37.94% and 38.49% of students meeting standards, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%. This persistent underperformance raises concerns about the quality of education and the school's ability to effectively support student learning.

Additionally, HGA Elementary serves a highly disadvantaged student population, with an extremely high rate of 98.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level, combined with a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.8, may present unique challenges in terms of resource allocation, student support, and addressing the impacts of poverty on academic achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Higher Ground Academy.
