Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We left this school with the first mass exodus of teachers and families in 2011. There is another mass exodus happening now. This school is a pressure cooker for kids. If you are considering enrolling, do your research and be prepared for Yinghua to consume your life and family time, with the possible side effects of kids who are stressed out and develop physical and emotional ailments as coping mechanisms.

We have a 4th grader and a Kindergartner starting next year. The quality of teaching, community, and administration have been excellent. As the school has grown, the board has navigated the school through inevitable transitions with wisdom and courage. You couldn't do better for your kids!

This school is amazing. I feel so lucky that it is in my neighborhood and that I am able to send my child here. The teachers are wonderful, the parent community is very dedicated, and the staff are amazing. The language immersion program is wonderful, too. I feel safe sending my child here, and privileged to have the opportunity to. I really love the new principal, also.

This is a very good school. I've had three children here and have been very happy with it. The teachers work very hard and are very dedicated. As expected, the pupils gain a very high level of competency in Chinese but, unexpectedly, the school has a really great Math program. My children were all slightly behind in English reading and writing but they caught up quickly in late 3rd grade/4th grade. My older two have since moved on to an English middle school and are doing very well.

The immersion education at Yinghua cannot be matched in my opinion. The teachers, directors, & other staff work tiresomely. All the staff are very supportive of one another, students, & parents. What you will notice 1st though is the high level of parental involvement & the strong sense of community inspite of all it's growing pains in the past. The kids fluency in oral & written Mandarin is truly impressive. The other subjects are exceptional as well. They have stats to back it up. My kids love learning because of the encouraging & postive environment there. Yinghua has a fantastic vision for the present & future including plans for expanding at the current site. The school board is dedicated, open, transparent, & responsive to families of the school. We are pleased w/unique and diverse student body that they will be with for k-8 grade. Yinghua is truly an extraordinary learning environment w/a strong music, art, PE programs to boot! Love the new responsive classroom model, strengthing of the core squence, & all the new extra curricular activity choices now available. We have nothing to complain about in comparision to other schools. Wish every child had this opportunity!

Our son attended kindergarten last year and has just begun first grade. So far, his experience has been very positive. The teachers are extremely dedicated and the atmosphere is quite supportive. We've been impressed by the high level of parental involvement and the strong sense of community. There's plenty of homework, even in the early grades, but our son has grown by leaps and bounds and seems happy among his friends there. The fluency kids learn, both oral and written, is truly impressive. Yinghua has been growing by leaps and bounds, with all of the attendant space and staffing issues, but we sense the school is moving to a stronger place, including plans for expanding at the current site. We're pleased at the increased size of the the younger classes, since we think it will help the school achieve critical mass in a number of programs while giving kids a larger, more diverse group of peers as they move through their elementary years. If you're looking for a unique learning environment with a strong academic focus, this may well be the right choice. Bear in mind, however, that you're making a very serious, multi-year commitment to gain the real benefits.

My daughters are in their sixth & seventh years at Yinghua -- my older one was in the inaugural Chinese class. As the school has matured, there have been the expected growing pains -- but I don't know of any other public school with such responsive teachers and administration. The new director is top-notch and the school's test results, stellar. I am tough to please but we are happy with this school. The Chinese, Math, music and other subjects are wonderful. If you are able to get in through lottery, count your lucky stars!

My son is a first grader at YA this year. The new director has brought a sense of community and direction to the school so that the stress of the earlier transition has dissipated. The teachers here are excellent and truly care about their students, communicating frequently with parents about individual kids. My son is doing math far beyond what I anticipated for his age/grade. I am delighted with our school.

A recent change in leadership (new director) has been very positive. The school has undergone some transition in recent years, but seems to be finding its way. Teachers are caring and work very hard to meet the needs of the students.

My oldest has been attending this school for four years now. My middle child is in his second year. They are both fluent in Chinese and excited about learning. My daughter leaves 3rd grade at math time and joins a 4th grade math class as a gifted student. It is not just the language that is being taught at Yinghua, but all the core subjects as well. Fantastic educational experience.

Many families did not come back this year. Families are even now pulling students. No current leadership. Do your research before enrolling: charter, academics, special needs, administration.
I have two children at Yinghua Academy and feel very fortunate to be part of such a dedicated, positive and caring community. In the Fall of 2010, the school lost it's head Director, who was very well liked and respected. We were lucky to have a well known and very accomplished Immersion School expert come out of retirement and step in as Interim Director. The school benefited greatly from her leadership and is now poised to recruit a Director fitting of the school's excellent reputation and potential for growth. As parents, we knew whatever school we chose for our children had to be a good fit for them, as well as us. Yinghua's teachers are stellar, understanding the needs and differences of each student and how they learn. The Administrative staff is dedicated, child-focused, open and very supportive of the staff, students, and parents. But most important, the school has a wonderful community of parents who work cohesively to be sure the school has what it needs to be one of the very best in the Cities.

not professional! lovv qualities of teachers, directors and curriculum. Kids are learning casual chinese not academic chinese. kids are hard to keep up vvith other students in high school especially Math and Science.

Positives - your child will be immersed in Chinese education, not only in language, but also the culture. Negatives - Many teachers do not have state teaching licenses or prior experience teaching in America and/or grade level children. Teachers work very hard to meet the myriad of requests made by administration and go up and beyond the average public school teacher. Students at YA have supportive parents and parents should know that they will need to very involved as the child is learning in Chinese. Administrators do NOT give teachers TEXTBOOKS, they limit basic materials such as making copies and technology. Teachers are generally unhappy working for YA and turn over is high for many reasons. Admin has lost touch (or has no idea) what students and teachers need. While test scores are high, a high amount of academic pressure is put on the children. Your child will have A LOT of homework, which is fine if you are OK with that. It will also mean your child will have little time or opportunity to do other things. Kids report very stressed by the quantity of work.

Yinghua Academy has a rigorous curriculum and test scores are among the best in the state. I can t believe that my daughter can speak Chinese so well at such a young age. Nothing short of amazing is what this school does. However, there is a lot of homework and parent involvement is a must, so it s not for everyone.
—Submitted by a parent
Some of the teachers here are working hard. But there is not a good curriculum system at the school. And the directors are not professional.
—Submitted by a parent
I feel very fortunate that my children are able to attend Yinghua Academy. They are learning all the essentials (reading, writing, arithmetic), but also learning a strategic language (Mandarin) with native-level fluency. The staff and teachers care about the students, about the school, and about the community. Parents are involved, but not (dare I say?) annoying so. It's a perfect balance. Strongly recommended if you want to give your child a language advantage for his/her future, while also ensuring he/she masters the standard elementary and middle school courses.

innovative school with passionate teachers and staff. All good.

We initially considered sending our son to an immersion schools for the benefit of learning another language and culture. Yinghua has provided him the opportunity to acquire both in an environment that is well-structured and engaging. Our son is proud of his ability to communicate well with native Chinese speakers and to be at the reading and writing level of his public school peers.
—Submitted by a parent
We started examining immersion schools for the benefit of learning another language and culture, and found Yinghua which offered not only the benefit of a second language, but a community where they truly care about each child and support from the whole school community. Each administrator, teacher, and helper know the names of all the kids and they have incredible relationships working with the children. They make the culture fun and interesting while the academics are rigorous enough to challenge the kids and keep them interested. Their school testing reports are among the highest in the state! As of November my son already can count in Chinese to 42, sings many new songs in Chinese and is trying to teach mom and dad words daily. For our active learner it is a perfect balance done with outstanding excellence.

The MCA-III is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Minnesota. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
The different student groups are identified by the Minnesota Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, data is not reported for that group.
