Article #6 in a Series >>>>> Academic and General School Profiles >>>>> PreK-8 Schools >>>> Bethune

This is the sixth in a series of articles profiling the PreK-8 schools of the Minneapolis Public Schools, which include those sites featuring grades PreK-5, K-5, PreK-8, and K-8.  These articles provide information concerning academic performance, student population data, and contact information.  This and many other recent and looming articles foreshadow matters covered in my book, Understanding the Minneapolis Public Schools:  Current Condition, Future Prospect, due in complete form very soon, in November 2018.

 

There are forty-three (43) PreK-8 schools in the Minneapolis Public Schools.
