Summary:
Excell Academy Charter is the sole elementary school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 510 students. This public charter school, part of the Excell Academy Charter district, has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 10% of Minnesota elementary schools for the past three years.
With a student population that is 91.96% African American and an extremely high percentage (95.49%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Excell Academy Charter faces significant challenges. The school's test scores on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) are alarmingly low, with only 7.55% of students proficient or better in math and 22.56% in reading, compared to state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. Despite these persistent issues, the school has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past three years.
The data suggests that Excell Academy Charter is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its predominantly low-income, African American student population. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as the school's high-poverty demographics and lack of academic progress, will be crucial in order to improve outcomes for the students at this charter school.
