Hmong College Prep Academy

The Hmong College Prep Academy district in Minnesota operates three schools: Hmong College Prep Academy Elementary School, Hmong College Prep Academy High School, and Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School. These schools serve a predominantly Asian student population, with over 96% of students identifying as Asian. However, the data reveals that the academic performance across all three schools is consistently below state averages, with low proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science on standardized tests.

The Hmong College Prep Academy Elementary School and Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School are ranked in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in Minnesota, with the elementary school consistently ranking in the bottom 10% over the past three years. The Hmong College Prep Academy High School fares slightly better, but still falls below the state averages on key metrics.

The high poverty rates, with 83-86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the student population could be a concern, as it may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. To address these issues, the Hmong College Prep Academy district will likely need to implement comprehensive, data-driven strategies to improve curriculum, instructional practices, and support for its students.
