Summary:
The Minnesota Excellence in Learning Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-6 in the Minnesota Excellence in Learning Academy district, located in Maple Grove, Minnesota. With a total enrollment of 200 students, this school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (73.5%) compared to the state average, as well as its consistently low academic performance on the MCA-III assessments, with proficiency rates well below state averages in Math, Reading, and Science.
The school's statewide ranking among Minnesota elementary schools has been in the bottom 10-15% for the past 3 school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is one of the lower-performing institutions in the state. Additionally, a very high percentage (71%) of students at the Minnesota Excellence in Learning Academy qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which can be a significant barrier to academic success.
Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling school that is underperforming academically and serving a student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the root causes and potential interventions to improve outcomes at this school.
