Article #2 in a Series >>>>> Academic and General School Profiles >>>>> Middle Schools >>>> Olson Middle School


This is the second 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 Olson Middle School:
