Progeny Academy Charter School

Summary:

Progeny Academy Charter School is an elementary school located in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 85 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and students of two or more races.

Despite its diverse student body, Progeny Academy Charter School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Minnesota, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. The school's high poverty rates, with 76.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to these academic challenges. In comparison, Excell Academy Charter, located just 1.51 miles away, has higher proficiency rates in both math and reading, despite serving a similar demographic of students.

Progeny Academy Charter School's struggles are further compounded by a declining enrollment trend and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 28.3 students per teacher. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of the school's student population. By leveraging the resources and expertise of nearby schools and community partners, such as Excell Academy Charter and other schools in the Brooklyn Center Community Schools district, Progeny Academy Charter School may be able to improve its educational outcomes and better serve its students.

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.
