MPS METRO HA

MPS METRO HA is a Title I public school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 34 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten 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 3 teachers, MPS METRO HA has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

**MPS METRO HA** (often referred to as the Metro Heights Academy) is a specialized alternative high school program located in Northeast Minneapolis. It operates under the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) district with a primary focus on providing a supportive, flexible, and personalized educational environment for students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. The school is designed to help students overcome barriers to graduation, offering smaller class sizes and individualized attention to ensure academic progress.

The curriculum at Metro Heights Academy is structured to help students earn necessary credits toward their diplomas while fostering social and emotional growth. By emphasizing a close-knit community atmosphere and building strong relationships between staff and students, the school aims to re-engage learners who have fallen behind in credits or are seeking a different pace of instruction.
