Summary:
Bultum Academy is the sole elementary school located within the Bultum Academy Charter School district in Minnesota. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, this school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly African American student population, who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Academically, Bultum Academy is performing well below the state average in math, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. With a statewide ranking of 657 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and a 1-star rating, the school is clearly struggling to meet the needs of its students. The high student-teacher ratio of 71.6 students per teacher suggests that the school may be facing resource constraints, further limiting its ability to provide personalized attention and support.
Compounding these academic challenges, Bultum Academy serves a student population that is 100% African American and has an extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 98.09%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. These demographic and socioeconomic factors likely contribute to the school's struggles and underscore the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of the community it serves.
