EL COLEGIO CHARTER SCHOOL

El Colegio Charter School was an independent public charter district situated at 4137 Bloomington Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Positioned within a major urban center in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington metropolitan area, the district operated as a dedicated local educational agency focused on secondary education, serving high school students across grades 9 through 12. As reflected in the 2024–2025 National Center for Education Statistics dataset, the district has officially closed, maintaining zero active operational schools and no remaining active campus operations.

Before concluding its operations, the district educated a close-knit cohort of 83 students, featuring a student body composed of 51 female and 32 male pupils, with the highest concentration in the ninth and tenth grades. The school held a distinct demographic profile within the city, with Hispanic students representing the vast majority of enrollment (78 students), alongside small representations of Black, White, and American Indian learners. Although no longer staffing classrooms or accepting new enrollments, El Colegio’s record provides researchers, families, and community members with a meaningful historic snapshot of small-scale, culturally tailored urban charter education in Minnesota.
