Summary:
The Fridley Public School District in Minnesota operates 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and no alternative schools, serving a diverse student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.
The district's elementary schools, Hayes Elementary and Stevenson Elementary, stand out with relatively strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in Math and Reading proficiency. In contrast, Fridley Senior High struggles, with proficiency rates well below state levels and a high dropout rate.
Across the district, there are significant challenges, including low overall test scores, high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, and disparities in racial representation. The district's alternative high school programs, Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center and Transitions School, also show particularly low academic performance and graduation rates, indicating a need for targeted interventions to support the unique needs of these students.
