Public, Charter Grades
Summary

Legacy of Dr Josie R Johnson Montes is a public charter elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota that serves 113 students from kindergarten to 6th grade, with a predominantly African American student population.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools on standardized tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 11.11% of students were proficient or better in Math, and 20.37% were proficient or better in Reading, significantly lower than the state averages. The school has received 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating its persistent academic challenges.

These academic struggles may be linked to the school's high percentage of African American students (70.8%) and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (77.88% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), which are higher rates than the nearby Northport Elementary, Sojourner Truth Academy, Prodeo Columbia Heights Primary, and other schools in the Robbinsdale Public School District, Sojourner Truth Academy, Prodeo Academy, and other nearby districts. Addressing these racial and socioeconomic disparities will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Legacy of Dr Josie R Johnson Montes.
