Order Resources

We create and share clear, transparent resources with families so they have real choices and more power in demanding high-quality education.

MN Family Standards Guides

Families tell us that in addition to knowing how their child’s school is doing, they want to know how their child is doing in school. In response, we created the Minnesota Standards Family Guides.


Our grade level guides make sense of state learning standards and grade-level expectations. They show – in simple language – what our state and schools expect kids to know and be able to do each year.


Access the grade level guides online at gradeguides.greatmnschoools.org. Print copies are also available. Families in Minneapolis and organizations serving Minneapolis families may be eligible to receive free copies of the printed guide. Reach out to info@greatmnschools.org for more information.


Minneapolis School Finder

Great MN Schools publishes the first and only comprehensive view of all school choices across the city, the Minneapolis School Finder, which is now used annually by over 13,000 families in Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis School Finder helps families make informed school selection decisions.
