Modern Montessori Charter School

Summary:

Modern Montessori Charter School is an elementary school located in Champlin, Minnesota, serving grades PK-7 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, which is ranked 272 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Modern Montessori Charter School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (72.16% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding Crooked Lake Elementary, Hoover Elementary BioMed Sci Egng, and Dayton Elementary, which have more diverse student populations, the school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in math. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's overall math proficiency rate was 31.91% compared to the state's 45.47%. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Modern Montessori Charter School has increased significantly, from 12.73% in 2020-2021 to 31.25% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.2 to 12.1 over the past three school years, Modern Montessori Charter School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 571 out of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 649 out of 881 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in Minnesota, and the school's leadership may need to focus on improving instructional practices, providing targeted support for struggling students, and exploring ways to increase diversity and engagement within the school community.

Open Quote They do not respond to emails/phone calls. My student goes hungry everyday because they don’t allow enough time for lunch. They refused to address my concern about this for weeks. Finally they called me and yelled about how I should send softer food and cut it up into bite sized pieces.
We also had an issue with our child’s school bus driver driving away before he could sit down and he’d go flying. The bus driver also drives erratically, and my student could barley take a step off of the bus before he’d speed away. This is a major safety concern. I contacted the school and of course they didn’t get back to me. I ended up having to contact the bus company on my own. Once the woman to runs the school found out that I complained about this she called me yelling about how she doesn’t want to lose that bus driver. Really unprofessional. I am not impressed with the leadership at this school at all. Close Quote

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.
