Skyline Math and Science Academy

Summary:

Skyline Math and Science Academy is a public charter elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 218 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has a 100% African American student population and consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in math, reading, and science compared to state and district averages.

Skyline Math and Science Academy faces several challenges. It has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated significantly, ranging from 12.3 to 31.1 students per teacher. In contrast, nearby schools like Pratt Elementary, Seward Elementary, and Universal Academy Elementary generally outperform Skyline in academic achievement and have more racially diverse student populations.

The data suggests that Skyline Math and Science Academy is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and significant interventions and support may be needed to improve the school's academic outcomes and educational opportunities. The school's lack of racial diversity and consistently low performance compared to nearby schools serving similar student demographics raise questions about the educational opportunities available to students of color in the area.

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.
