Progeny Academy Charter School

Progeny Academy Charter School is the sole school serving grades K-8 in the Progeny Academy Charter School district, located in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. With an enrollment of just 85 students, the school faces significant challenges, including alarmingly low academic performance, a high percentage of students from low-income families, and a consistently low ranking among Minnesota elementary schools.

Academically, Progeny Academy Charter School is underperforming, with proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 8th grade math, the school had a 0% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 40.27%. This persistent academic underperformance is a major concern and suggests the school is struggling to provide its diverse student population, which is 51.76% African American, 21.18% Hispanic, and 10.59% Asian, with a quality education.

Adding to the challenges, a high percentage (76.47%) of Progeny Academy's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic struggles and should be a key consideration in developing strategies for improvement. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Progeny Academy Charter School, and significant interventions and support will be needed to address the root causes of its underperformance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
