Our Mission

The mission of Minnesota Partnership for Achievement is to secure a bright future for our students, our schools and our state by educating, empowering, and uniting champions for student achievement.

  • Minnesota Partnership for Achievement seeks to restore our K-12 education system using a bottom-up approach that brings parents, policymakers, educators, business leaders, and community members together.

  • Through in-person and online informational events, digital resources, and discussion forums, Minnesota Partnership for Achievement is creating and growing a broad coalition of well-informed, invested stakeholders who are empowered and equipped to advocate for achievement, accountability and excellence in education.

  • Our network of partners engage in centrist, collaborative efforts to develop and advance practical, accountable solutions for K-12 education at the local and state level.

Make a difference.

Minnesota test scores are falling short!

We need accountable solutions for K-12 education.

Reading: 50.3% of Minnesota students are not meeting grade-level reading standards*
Math: 54.7% of Minnesota students are not meeting grade-level math standards*
Science: 60.5% of Minnesota students are not meeting grade-level science standards*

*Based on recent test score data, reported by MDE 2023 – 2024 school year. The achievement gap is significant and persistent for minority and low-income students. For example, in 2024, 78% of African American students and 77.6% of Hispanic/Latino students were not proficient in math, compared to 44.4% of white students. 86.4% of free and reduced lunch students were not proficient in math, compared with 40.8% of students who do not qualify for free and reduced lunch.
