Global Academy

Summary:

Global Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 451 students in grades K-8 in New Brighton, Minnesota. The school has a predominantly African American student population (85.14%) and serves a high-needs community, with 81-89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years.

While Global Academy has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, the school performs relatively well for certain student subgroups. For example, the school's African American students and English Language Learners rank in the top 4 and top 50 out of 310-303 Minnesota elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state and nearby school averages. For instance, in 2023-2024, Global Academy's overall math proficiency rate was 37.13%, compared to the state average of 45.47%.

The nearby schools, such as Wilshire Park Elementary, Waite Park Elementary, and Bel Air Elementary, generally outperform Global Academy academically, with higher proficiency rates in math, reading, and science. These schools also have lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients and more racially diverse student populations. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at Global Academy, as well as the school's predominantly African American student population, suggest that the school serves a lower-income community, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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.
