Elementary Schools in Fridley Public School District

The Fridley Public School District in Minnesota operates four elementary schools: Stevenson Elementary, Hayes Elementary, Voluntary Prekindergarten School, and Early Childhood Special Education S. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and are located in the Fridley community.

Among the elementary schools, Hayes Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 632 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in math and reading proficiency. In contrast, Stevenson Elementary and Hayes Elementary are ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with the district as a whole ranking 347 out of 446 districts in the state.

The data also reveals that the elementary schools in the Fridley Public School District generally underperform the state averages in both math and reading proficiency, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The specialized early childhood programs at the Voluntary Prekindergarten School and Early Childhood Special Education S may be a strength, but the high student-teacher ratio at the latter raises concerns about the quality of the learning environment.
