About This School

Twitter

City Academy is located in St. Paul, MN and is in City Academy School District. It is a charter school that serves 128 students in grades 11-12.

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.

City Academy did not make 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 City Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2008, City Academy had 16 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Minnesota average is 16 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about City Academy's students and teachers. more

City Academy

Rose C.: The very first charter school. This school is focused on each and every students education. Each teacher works with students one on one, if they need it. Its a small school but wonderful to those students who do not or can not work in large group settings like a regular high school. The teachers at City Academy genuinely care for each of the students, making sure that the students gets the best education possible. Great school, great teachers and great atmosphere.
