Sejong Academy of Minnesota


Summary:

The Sejong Academy of Minnesota school district operates two schools - Sejong Academy Lower School, an elementary school, and Sejong Academy Upper School, a high school. While the lower school struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in math and science, the upper school has seen remarkable improvement, rising from 341 out of 428 Minnesota high schools in 2020-2021 to 29 out of 480 in 2023-2024 and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Both schools have a very high Asian student population, over 90%, and face significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 90% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The stark contrast in performance between the elementary and high school suggests there may be differences in curriculum, teaching methods, or other factors that contribute to the divergent outcomes. The upper school's strong performance on MCA-III tests, particularly in reading and science, is a standout, exceeding state averages.

Overall, the data highlights the strengths of Sejong Academy Upper School and the challenges faced by Sejong Academy Lower School. Further investigation into the factors driving these differences could provide valuable insights for the Sejong Academy of Minnesota district to improve educational outcomes across all grade levels.
