Summary:
The North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale school district in Minnesota contains 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 6th grade. The schools in this district vary significantly in size and academic performance, with some standout high-performing schools as well as several struggling institutions.
At the top of the district, Eagle Point Elementary consistently ranks among the top 35% of Minnesota elementary schools, with over 60% of students proficient in both math and reading on state assessments. In contrast, Carver Elementary and Justice Alan Page Elementary School are the lowest-performing in the district, sitting in the bottom 30% and 20% of Minnesota elementary schools respectively.
The data suggests a strong correlation between student socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with the highest rates of economically disadvantaged students, such as Justice Alan Page, Weaver, and Cowern Elementary, also tend to have the lowest proficiency rates. Addressing these disparities and replicating the successful practices of top-performing schools like Eagle Point could be key to improving educational outcomes across the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district.
