Summary:
The Minnesota Math and Science Academy district contains a single elementary school, MMSA Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is located in an area with a predominantly African American student population and high rates of economic disadvantage, with 96.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
MMSA Elementary School is struggling academically, with significantly below-average proficiency rates on the MCA-III standardized tests in math, reading, and science across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 756th out of 858 Minnesota elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 839th out of 881 in 2023-2024. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, the school has been unable to translate this into improved academic outcomes for its students.
Overall, the data suggests that MMSA Elementary School is not providing a high-quality education to its students, who come from a disadvantaged background. The school's poor academic performance, declining statewide ranking, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students are all areas of concern that warrant further investigation and intervention by the Minnesota Math and Science Academy district.
