This is the first in a series of articles
profiling the middle schools of the Minneapolis Public Schools, giving academic
performance, student population data, and contact information. This and many other recent and looming
articles foreshadow matters covered in my book, Fundamentals of an Excellent Liberal Arts Education, due in
complete form very soon, in November 2018.
There are eight middle schools in the
Minneapolis Public Schools, in addition to the K-8 schools that encompass the
typical middle grades 6-8.
Here is the profile for Franklin Middle
School, which reopened for the 2015-2016 academic year after two years in which the
building at 1501 Aldrich Avenue North did not house a middle school program:
