Stonebridge World School is a public charter elementary school serving 237 students in grades PK-6 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its academic performance is significantly below the state average.
Stonebridge World School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) in math, reading, and science, is significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.31% of Stonebridge students were proficient in math, compared to 45.21% statewide, and the reading proficiency rate was 14.58%, compared to 49.59% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Minnesota elementary schools for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students in both math and reading. Additionally, Stonebridge World School has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83-87% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Kenny Elementary, Burroughs Elementary, and Field Elementary, which have rates ranging from 8-72%.
Despite the school's consistently low performance, the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Stonebridge World School, ranging from 13.1 to 14.9 over the past few years, suggests that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Exploring best practices from the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Kenny Elementary, Burroughs Elementary, and Field Elementary, which have proficiency rates that are 2-3 times higher than Stonebridge's in both math and reading, could provide valuable insights for the school's improvement efforts.
