Level Up Academy

The Level Up Academy district in Minnesota operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools (1 physical and 1 virtual) and 2 middle schools (1 physical and 1 virtual). While the district's overall performance lags behind state averages, the Level Up Academy Middle School stands out as the highest performing school, with strong reading proficiency rates. In contrast, the elementary schools, both physical and virtual, struggle the most, with 5th-grade math and science proficiency rates at 0%.

The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of African American and Asian students. However, all schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively low socioeconomic status. This, coupled with the district's overall underperformance, raises concerns about equity and the ability of the schools to provide quality education to all students.

The virtual school options, Level Up Academy Virtual Middle and Level Up K-5 Virtual Academy, have very small student populations, with only 11 and 8 students enrolled, respectively. This raises questions about the viability and effectiveness of these virtual school options within the Level Up Academy district.
