Summary:
The Metro Schools Charter district in Minnesota has only one middle school, SET Academy Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school appears to be underperforming compared to district and state averages, with significantly lower proficiency rates in math, reading, and science on standardized tests. SET Academy Middle has a predominantly African American student population (98.67%) and a very high percentage of students (97.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, SET Academy Middle's performance is a concern, with math proficiency rates ranging from just 4.55% for 6th grade to 42.11% for 8th grade, and reading proficiency rates between 6.67% for 7th grade and 56% for 8th grade. The school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade is also low at 25%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 27.1 to 1, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.
Overall, Metro Schools Charter appears to have significant challenges with its only middle school, SET Academy Middle. The school's consistently low academic performance, high-poverty student population, and low overall rating on the SchoolDigger platform suggest that the district may need to prioritize improving educational outcomes for its middle school students.
