Elementary Schools in Level Up Academy

The Level Up Academy district in Minnesota is home to two elementary schools: Level Up Academy and Level Up K-5 Virtual Academy. While Level Up Academy serves a larger student population, the virtual academy boasts a significantly lower student-to-teacher ratio of 6:1 compared to 11.3:1 at the traditional school, suggesting more individualized attention for students.

Academically, Level Up Academy's proficiency rates on the MCA-III tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Math and Science. In contrast, the virtual academy does not have any test score data available, making it difficult to assess its academic performance. Demographically, Level Up Academy has a more diverse student population, with a significant percentage of African American and Asian students, while the virtual academy has a higher percentage of White students.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Level Up Academy (50.44%) suggests that the school may serve a lower-income population, which could impact academic achievement and resource availability. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the performance and demographics of these schools, as well as the potential benefits and challenges of virtual education in the elementary school setting.
