Summary

Robbinsdale Spanish Immersion Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in New Hope, Minnesota, serving 748 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Robbinsdale Public School District, which is ranked 317 out of 446 districts in the state.

Robbinsdale Spanish Immersion Elementary has consistently performed better than the district and the state of Minnesota in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 46.7% of the school's students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 41.19% for the district and 49.59% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in 5th grade reading, where 57.28% of students were proficient or better, compared to 46.46% for the district and 57.09% for the state. However, the school's math proficiency rates, while still higher than the district, are lower than the state average, especially in 5th grade (29.13% vs. 42.94%).

Compared to nearby schools, Zachary Lane Elementary and FAIR School Pilgrim Lane also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that the Robbinsdale Public School District may have pockets of excellence that could be leveraged to improve overall district outcomes. However, the school's performance also highlights the need to address persistent achievement gaps and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to high-quality educational opportunities.

Right up & above statewide testing scores all while being educated in Spanish. There should be bonus points for being able to take the standardized tests in English even though education is in Spanish. These kids amaze me ! Not to mention one of the biggest chess clubs in the cities. Close Quote

For a school with ~650 students, there is not enough office staffing.
Office turnover also might be due the Principal's leadership style towards workers and volunteers.
Thankfully the students get above average instruction, and their test scores reflect that. Close Quote
