Elementary Schools in Twin Cities International Schools

Twin Cities International Schools is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Twin Cities International Schools district located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With a total enrollment of 606 students, the school stands out for its unique demographics, as it serves a 100% African American student population, the majority of whom (98.51%) come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, Twin Cities International Schools faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science consistently falling below the state averages for all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 708 out of 858 Minnesota elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 757 out of 881 in 2023-2024. This persistent academic underperformance suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this school serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged and minority student population.

While the data set provides insights into only one school, the findings highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of educational challenges faced by schools in underserved communities. Addressing these challenges will require a collaborative effort involving policymakers, educators, and community stakeholders to ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic or racial background, have access to high-quality educational opportunities and the support they need to succeed.
