Elementary Schools in Minneapolis Public School District


Summary:

The Minneapolis Public School District contains 44 elementary schools serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The schools in this district exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools ranking among the top in the state and others struggling to meet proficiency standards.

Several schools stand out for their exceptional academic achievement, including Burroughs Elementary, Armatage Elementary, Northrop Elementary, Kenny Elementary, and Field Elementary. These schools boast proficiency rates in math and reading of 70% or higher, significantly outperforming the district-wide average of 35-40%. In contrast, some schools struggle with proficiency rates below 10%, highlighting the stark disparities in educational outcomes across the district.

The data also reveals a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and its academic performance. The top-performing schools tend to serve populations with lower percentages of students from low-income families, while the lowest-performing schools often have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that addressing economic inequities could be a key factor in improving educational opportunities for all students within the Minneapolis Public School District.
