MPS METRO C

MPS METRO C is a Title I public school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 18 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 7 teachers, MPS METRO C has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. 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 C** (often referred to as the Metro Education Center) is a specialized alternative learning program within the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) district. Located at 143 E 19th St in Minneapolis, the school is designed to serve students who may require a non-traditional educational environment to succeed. The program focuses on providing personalized instruction, credit recovery, and social-emotional support, catering to students who benefit from smaller class sizes and more flexible scheduling than what is typically found in large, comprehensive high schools.

The school’s mission aligns with the broader MPS district goals of ensuring equitable access to high-quality education, particularly for students who are at risk of falling behind or who have disengaged from the traditional classroom setting. By offering a supportive community and targeted academic interventions, Metro C works to help students stay on track toward graduation and prepare them for post-secondary opportunities. Through its dedicated staff and specialized curriculum, the center aims to address the unique barriers that its student population may face, fostering both personal and academic growth in a focused environment.
