Summary:
Global Academy is the sole elementary school located in the New Brighton, Minnesota area, serving students in grades K-8. This public charter school has a total enrollment of 451 students, with a predominantly African American student population (85.14%) and a high percentage of students (88.91%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the school community.
While Global Academy performs better than the state average in reading proficiency, the school's math proficiency rates are lower than the state average, particularly in the upper grades. This suggests the school may be struggling to close achievement gaps and ensure all students are meeting grade-level standards. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 could be a potential strength, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
Global Academy has been ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools for the past three school years, with a current 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's diverse student population and potential strengths in literacy instruction could be areas to build upon to improve overall academic performance and support the success of all students.
