NORTH ACADEMY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

NORTH ACADEMY SENIOR HIGH is a Title I public high school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 436 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 71 teachers, NORTH ACADEMY SENIOR HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

NORTH ACADEMY SENIOR HIGH, located in the Willard-Hay neighborhood of North Minneapolis, is part of the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) system. Situated at 1500 James Ave N, the school has historically served as a critical educational hub for the local community, emphasizing academic development and student support services tailored to the needs of the surrounding urban area.

As an institution within the Minneapolis district, the school operates under the broader mission of preparing students for college and career success through diverse curriculum offerings and extracurricular engagement. Because school configurations and specific programming within the Minneapolis district can shift due to district-wide enrollment strategies and facility changes, the school maintains its connection to the district's goals of fostering an inclusive learning environment and closing achievement gaps.
