Minnesota Public Schools. A place for kids and communities to grow.
Minnesota’s public schools are where learning connects to life. When every child has access to great teachers, strong schools and supportive communities, they rise – and when kids rise, Minnesota rises too.
Be part of the promise to every Minnesota kid.
Minnesota Kids Rise is a statewide effort to build trust, pride, and shared understanding of our public schools. We bring together real stories, local examples, and clear information so communities can feel confident in the role public schools play in our shared future. This work provides a clear, balanced view of how public schools support every child and strengthen communities across Minnesota.
Public schools open doors of opportunity and help every Minnesota kid rise.
About Minnesota Kids Rise
Public schools are one of Minnesota’s most important shared investments, supported by families, district staff, board members, and communities. Minnesota Kids Rise provides a trusted, statewide view of how schools are serving students and communities across the state.
Stories That Connect
Behind every classroom, program, and outcome is a real person, and across Minnesota, students, families, and educators are creating experiences that support learning, belonging, and growth in their communities every day.
Your voice matters.
Whether you are a school board member, educator, business leader, parent, or community advocate, your voice helps Minnesota kids rise.
This work is strongest when trusted community members share real experiences, clear information, and a belief in what is possible for every student. When communities stay informed and engaged, public schools and students benefit.
