Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop

Summary:

Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in Minneapolis, MN, with a student population of 368 that is predominantly Hispanic (around 90%). The school is part of the Hiawatha Academies district, which is ranked 440 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Hiawatha College Prep - Kingfield, another Hiawatha Academies charter school, performs slightly better but still ranks in the bottom 20-25% of Minnesota middle schools. The school's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, often less than half the state's performance. This is particularly pronounced in Math, with only around 8-9% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of around 45%. The school's challenges affect all student subgroups, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

In contrast, traditional public middle schools in the Minneapolis Public School District, such as Sanford Middle and Justice Page Middle, demonstrate significantly stronger academic performance, ranking in the top 25-30% of Minnesota middle schools. Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop's persistent challenges, with little to no improvement in its academic outcomes over the years, suggest that substantial interventions and support are needed to improve student success at the school.

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.
