Preschool | Grades K-8 | Aspen Academy

Aspen Academy is located in Prior Lake, MN and is in Aspen Academy School District. It is a charter school that serves 271 students in grades K-8.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Aspen Academy made AYP in 2011. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Minnesota in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Aspen Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2011, Aspen Academy had 16 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Minnesota average is 16 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Aspen Academy's students and teachers. more
