Skyline Math and Science Academy, Minneapolis MN

Original Research by School Decision on Skyline Math and Science Academy

Skyline Math and Science Academy is a K-6 charter school in Minneapolis. It is a regular public school with a stated focus on math and science. A parent considering this school should be aware that, according to Minnesota Department of Education records, the district that operates it is marked as not active, with a tag indicating it stopped serving students in the 2024-2025 school year. This is the most significant fact about the institution: it appears to have ceased operations.

The school served grades kindergarten through six from a location on 26th Avenue South in Minneapolis. Total enrollment was modest for a K-6 school. The student body was entirely Black. A very high share of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the source material, so a parent would need to check those details directly if they were seeking a school still in operation.

State assessment results are available for the 2024-2025 school year, the only year in the data. In math, proficiency rates were low across tested grades. Third grade showed a small share of students proficient, fourth grade was lower, fifth grade had no students reach proficiency, and sixth grade was also low. In English language arts, the pattern was similar: third-grade proficiency was modest, fourth grade had no students proficient, fifth grade was very low, and sixth grade was modest. On the fifth-grade science test, a small share of students were proficient. The school's overall combined proficiency across tested subjects and grades placed it in the bottom quartile relative to districts in Hennepin County. A single year of data gives no trend line; a parent looking at this school in an earlier period would want more years to see whether these results were stable or changing.

Minneapolis itself is a dense, major urban center. It is the state's most populous city and the seat of Hennepin County. The city is a financial, corporate, and cultural hub, home to the University of Minnesota's main campus, major arts institutions, and four professional sports teams. The built fabric ranges from downtown skyscrapers to residential neighborhoods around many lakes. The city has a well-regarded park system and public transit through buses and light rail. The housing market in the school's ZIP code had values and rents near state and national medians, typical for an urban setting.

Because the school has no grades beyond sixth, there are no graduation rate data, and no information on advanced coursework, career pathways, or chronic absenteeism was available. The school profile did not include information on discipline, staffing ratios, or course access. For a family researching choice options in Minneapolis, the starting point is the school's operational status; as of the 2024-2025 school year, it is no longer actively enrolling students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
