Original Research by School Decision on Stem Micro School
STEM Micro School is a small charter district in Ramsey County that, according to the Minnesota Department of Education, is no longer active. The district served a single school, also named STEM Micro School, and was consolidated into Harvest Best Academy effective fiscal year 2025. State records list the organization as not active, meaning families who previously enrolled here must now look to Harvest Best Academy or other options in the area for a similar program.
The district’s official grade band in the state’s directory is listed as “M through M,” which is an ambiguous code; the available research indicates the school actually served kindergarten through eighth grade. Because the district is no longer operating, many of the typical data points—enrollment, state test results, graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, staffing, discipline, and spending—are not available. The district did not report information for any of these categories, and there is no recent academic performance summary to examine. The comparison with other Ramsey County districts also cannot be made, because the necessary metrics are missing for this entity.
For a parent or resident trying to understand this place, the central fact is that it no longer exists as a separate enrollment option. The consolidation means that Harvest Best Academy now holds the charter and serves the student population that would have attended STEM Micro School. If you are researching this district because you are considering a move to the area or looking for a school with a STEM focus, the relevant entity to investigate is Harvest Best Academy. The district brief’s research notes that the consolidation was effective in fiscal year 2025, so any historical records or test scores from prior years may be associated with the old school, but those data are not present in this report.
The neighborhood context and housing market data for the Saint Paul area where the school was located are also not included in the available information. Without that, a reader cannot draw conclusions about the surrounding community, home values, or commute patterns from this narrative. The district’s profile shows no city, street, or zip code in the location fields, which is consistent with a non-active entity.
In short, STEM Micro School is a district that has been absorbed into another charter school. Its academic performance, student body composition, and program offerings are not documented here because the organization is no longer independently reporting. A parent who encounters this name should proceed straight to Harvest Best Academy to understand the current educational pathway.
