Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the Urban Academy district in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Urban Academy is a public charter school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 445 students, the majority of whom are Asian (84.27%).
Based on the available data, Urban Academy does not appear to be a standout school in terms of academic performance. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past three years, and its proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) in Math, Reading, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's diverse student population, its academic performance has not improved over the past three years, suggesting that the school may need to implement significant changes to its educational model, curriculum, or instructional strategies to better serve its students and drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes. The consistently low performance and lack of progress at Urban Academy are areas of concern that warrant further investigation and intervention to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
