MPS METRO SJ

MPS METRO SJ is a Title I public school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 38 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 9 teachers, MPS METRO SJ has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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, also known as the Metro Schools (specifically the Metro Educational Campus), is a specialized program within the Minneapolis Public Schools district located at 1121 E 46th St. This facility is unique because it serves as an alternative setting designed to meet the needs of students who may require a different educational environment than traditional neighborhood high schools. The campus provides a smaller, more personalized atmosphere, focusing on credit recovery, accelerated learning, and social-emotional support to help students stay on track for graduation.

The school operates with a mission to foster academic success and career readiness for students in grades 9 through 12. By offering a flexible curriculum and smaller class sizes, the staff at MPS Metro prioritize building strong relationships with students to address individual barriers to learning. As part of the broader Minneapolis Public Schools system, the campus aims to ensure that every student has access to a quality education, regardless of their past academic challenges, ultimately preparing them for life beyond high school.
