High Schools in Sejong Academy of Minnesota

Sejong Academy of Minnesota is home to a single high school, Sejong Academy Upper School, which serves grades 9-12. This standout institution has seen a dramatic improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 341st out of 428 Minnesota high schools in 2020-2021 to 29th out of 480 in 2023-2024, earning it a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and placing it in the top 6% of high schools in the state.

Sejong Academy Upper School's academic performance is a mixed bag, with strong results in some areas like 10th-grade reading proficiency (63.64% vs. 52.22% state average) and 8th-grade science proficiency (37.5% vs. 30.34% state average), but struggles in others, such as 7th-grade math proficiency (6.25% vs. 40.09% state average). The school's diverse student population, with 92.56% of students identifying as Asian, contributes to its unique learning environment, though the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (91.74% receive free or reduced-price lunch) may impact the school's resources and support available to students.

Despite these challenges, Sejong Academy of Minnesota has managed to create a high-performing high school with a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which is lower than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic success. The school's dramatic improvement in statewide ranking and its diverse student population make it an interesting case for further analysis and exploration of the factors contributing to its success and areas for improvement.
