Best Academy


Summary:

Best Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With an enrollment of 617 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its predominantly African American (95.46%) and economically disadvantaged (95.62% qualify for free/reduced lunch) student population.

Academically, Best Academy is struggling, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's overall math proficiency rate was just 20.86% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 45.47%. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's 1-star rating and ranking of 742 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools.

The data suggests that Best Academy faces significant demographic and resource challenges that contribute to its low academic outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems for students. With targeted interventions and a focus on equity, the school may be able to improve outcomes for its students and better serve the Minneapolis community.
