Summary

PACT Charter Elementary is a K–5 charter school in Ramsey, Minnesota, serving 673 students as part of the Pact Charter School district in the suburban area north of the Twin Cities.

Academically, math is the school's clearest strength: 52.1% of students were proficient in math, above both the 44.9% state average and the 46.2% district average. Reading is close to the state average at 50.1% versus 48.6%, while science is a serious weak spot at 18.6% proficient, well below the state's 25.5%. Results also vary a lot by grade. Third and fourth grade math (59.5% and 61.6%) beat the state, but fifth grade math (34.8%) falls below it. Fourth grade reading is excellent at 61.1%, while third grade reading is 37.9%, below the state's 46.8%. Compared with nearby schools, PACT outperforms Ramsey Elementary in all three subjects, but trails Dayton Elementary, Crooked Lake Elementary, Brookside Elementary, and Rogers Elementary — notably Brookside Elementary, which serves a similar share of low-income students yet scores far higher in all subjects.

The school ranks 416th of 869 Minnesota elementaries (52nd percentile, 3 stars), and its rank has swung between the 44th and 73rd percentiles in recent years. Its district is rated higher, at 76th percentile. Subgroup rankings show real differences in comparative effectiveness: African American students rank at the 76th percentile while White students rank at the 27th, and female students rank 22 percentile points above male students. Special education performance also dropped sharply, from the 69th percentile to the 32nd. PACT's student–teacher ratio of 17.7 is the highest among nearby schools, and about 27% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Sending our kids to this school was one of the worst mistakes we ever made! The teachers are bullies and inexperienced. The administration was absolutely horrific! One kids teacher was forced out mid year and replaced by the other kids teacher. So both of my kids lost their beloved teachers mid year. When I called to see if this was a normal practice for the school I was told to basically butt out. That they could run the school if they didn’t have parents calling etc. I witnessed staff verbally/emotionally abusing students and it was blown off by administration. Administration changed board meeting open mic times significantly after people started speaking up about the bad administration. They wanted to keep parents from speaking up.
My kid was punched in class a couple of times by a problem student and hurt in class. He stopped wanting to go to school. My other child asked to be homeschooled. I had school paras and teachers tell me that it was the right move and what they had witnessed. Those people removed their kids from the school as well and are now teaching in the largest district in the area. My kids still complain about that school. Horrific. Just don’t go there. It isnt the same school it started out as and definitely doesn’t value parents…they even changed their motto to reflect it while we were there. Close Quote

Terrible experience. We left pact and haven’t looked back. Teachers bully our students and intimidate us parents. Academics are a joke and getting worse. The “community atmosphere” is only if you’re in the CLICK. Very unwelcoming and unhealthy. Small atmosphere for small thinkers. I never recommend pact. Thankful we got out of that place before it hurt our kids any more. PS - the leaders at the school are clueless and so arrogant. Close Quote
