Summary:
There is one school in this area: Cornerstone Montessori Elementary, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 132 students in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and it operates as its own district, Cornerstone Montessori Elementary, so school-level and district-level results are identical.
Reading is this school's strongest subject. In 2025–2026, 43.1% of all students were proficient in reading, compared with 48.6% statewide — a gap of just 5.5 percentage points, much narrower than in other subjects. Fourth-grade reading reached 50%, slightly above the state's 48.8%, and sixth-grade reading was also 50%, close to the state's 53.4%. Fifth-grade reading was the weakest at 37.5%, 17 points below the state. Math is the clearest and most consistent challenge: all-grade proficiency was 19.4% against a state rate of 44.9%, and every tested grade fell short. Sixth-grade math was especially low at 6.3% versus 39.5% statewide, and fourth grade showed the largest gap at 36.4 points below the state.
Science swung sharply, dropping from 38.89% proficient in 2024–2025 — above the state's 26.15% — to 12.5% in 2025–2026, below the state's 25.5%. Because science is tested only in fifth grade, that change reflects a small group of students and should be read with caution. The school's state rank has slipped each year, from 580th of 881 in 2023–2024 to 675th of 869 in 2025–2026, with its star rating falling from 2 stars to 1 star and its percentile dropping from 34 to 22. Enrollment is 132, 54.55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.4. With small grade sizes, year-to-year percentage changes can hinge on just a few students.
