About Great MN Schools

Every child deserves an equal chance at a bright future, starting with access to a school that meets their needs. In Minneapolis, historical and systemic inequities have left many students without this essential opportunity. 

Great MN Schools is working to ensure that every child has the opportunity to receive the education that allows them to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our Mission & What We Do

Our goal is to triple the number of Minneapolis students attending excellent and equitable schools by 2030.

We are working towards this by working directly with schools to help them improve, partnering with community organizations to provide tools that help parents more deeply engage in their child’s education, and advancing effective solutions that create conditions for more great schools to thrive.
