Summary

Armatage Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 376 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top 15% of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in several recent years. Armatage Elementary's academic performance, particularly in Math and Reading, is significantly higher than the Minneapolis Public School District and the state averages.

Armatage Elementary's student subgroups, including female, male, and white students, perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5-10% of Minnesota elementary schools. The school's performance for its African American and English Language Learner students is also strong, ranking in the top 25-30% of Minnesota elementary schools. However, the school's performance for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students is more variable, ranging from the top 30% to the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools. Armatage Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its high academic performance.

While Armatage Elementary is a standout within the Minneapolis Public School District, its performance is comparable to or slightly lower than the high-performing schools in the neighboring Edina Public School District, such as Concord Elementary and Lake Harriet Upper Elementary. This suggests that Armatage Elementary has room for improvement, and there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of the top-performing schools in the region.
