Sage Academy Charter School

Summary:

Sage Academy Charter School is a small public high school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving 61 students in grades 9-12. While the school has a racially diverse student population, it faces significant challenges compared to nearby high schools, including low academic performance, high dropout rates, and poor graduation outcomes.

Sage Academy Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools, receiving a low 0-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its four-year graduation rates have ranged from just 25.0% to 47.6% over the past five years, well below the state average. The school has also experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 18.1%, much higher than nearby schools like Brooklyn Center High School, Champlin Park High School, and Park Center IB World School. Academically, Sage Academy's proficiency rates in math, reading, and science are all below 35%, compared to state averages of 34.99%, 52.22%, and 43.47%, respectively.

Despite these challenges, Sage Academy Charter School serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.66% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's enrollment has also declined in recent years, from 65 students in 2020-2021 to 61 in 2022-2023. While the school's small student-teacher ratio could potentially provide more individualized attention, the overall data suggests that Sage Academy Charter School faces significant hurdles in supporting its diverse student population and improving academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
