Bdote Learning Center

Bdote Learning Center is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area, with a total enrollment of 92 students. Despite its diverse student population, the school has consistently ranked near the bottom of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly below-average academic performance.

Only 10.81% of students at Bdote Learning Center were proficient or better in MCA-III Reading, compared to the state average of 49.85%, and the school had 0% proficiency in Math, compared to the state average of 45.47%. This low academic performance is coupled with a high percentage (80.43%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1, which could be seen as a positive factor, the consistently poor academic outcomes and low rankings suggest that Bdote Learning Center is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students, particularly its large population of Native American learners. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the unique challenges facing this school and improve educational opportunities for the community it serves.
