Bultum Academy Charter School

Bultum Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Columbia Heights, Minnesota area. With a total enrollment of 157 students, the school stands out for its unique demographic composition, with 100% of its students being African American and a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (98.09%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages, particularly in math and reading.

Bultum Academy's student-teacher ratio of 71.6 is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting potential resource constraints that may be impacting the quality of instruction and student learning. The school's low ranking (657 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools) and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger further indicate that it is performing poorly compared to other schools in the state.

Overall, the data suggests that Bultum Academy is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its predominantly African American and low-income student population. The school's academic performance, resource allocation, and overall ranking indicate the need for further investigation and potential interventions to improve educational outcomes for the students within the Bultum Academy Charter School district.
