Summary:
The Hmong College Prep Academy in Saint Paul, Minnesota, operates a single middle school serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 624 students. This public charter school has a predominantly Asian student population (96.96%), and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (85.42% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).
Academically, Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments well below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 7.63% to 22.98% in Math, 18.22% to 22.98% in Reading, and 7.44% in Science, compared to the state averages of 40.25% to 41.08% in Math, 44.58% to 54.54% in Reading, and 30.34% in Science. The school's overall academic performance has been consistently low, with its statewide ranking declining from 472 out of 520 Minnesota middle schools in 2021-2022 to 498 out of 545 in 2023-2024.
The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and racially homogeneous population may be contributing factors to its academic struggles. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School, which is the only middle school operated by the Hmong College Prep Academy district.
