Summary:
STRIDE Academy is a single charter school serving grades K-8 in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. With a total enrollment of 544 students, the school has a diverse student population but consistently underperforms academically compared to state averages.
Stride Academy K-8 Charter School ranks in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in math, reading, and science are significantly below state averages, ranging from 4.48% to 30.88% in math, 10.29% to 29.85% in reading, and 9.09% to 25.37% in science, compared to state averages of 40.09% to 58.79%, 44.58% to 57.45%, and 30.34% to 45.02%, respectively.
Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 to 1, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 84.56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively address the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and provide the necessary resources and support to improve academic outcomes. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach that focuses on teaching practices, curriculum, and targeted interventions to ensure that all students at STRIDE Academy have the opportunity to succeed.
