Summary

Windom Elementary is a public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 374 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Minneapolis Public School District and the state of Minnesota in both math and reading proficiency, with 60.1% of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math and 64.58% proficient or better in MCA-III Reading.

Windom Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than other nearby Minneapolis public schools, such as Armatage Elementary and Field Elementary. However, Burroughs Elementary has consistently outperformed Windom Elementary in both math and reading proficiency. The school has also seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 24.3% in 2021-2022 to 35.03% in 2023-2024, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population.

While Windom Elementary excels in the performance of its White and Special Education students, there are significant gaps in the performance of its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students compared to the state and district averages. Addressing these achievement gaps should be a priority for the school and the Minneapolis Public School District.

Don't judge a school by test scores alone, especially the first few years in an an immersion school when the testing language and teaching language are different. Windom provides so much more than a standard classroom education. The teachers and staff are caring and dedicated. The school community is inclusive and will assist your child in becoming a global citizen. Close Quote
