Summary

Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary is a charter school serving 133 students in grades 2–4 on Rose Avenue West in Saint Paul's North End, part of the Prodeo Academy district and sharing its site with the PK–1 Prodeo Academy St. Paul Primary campus next door.

Among the nine schools closest to it, Prodeo is the highest-ranked and highest-scoring, and the only one with a 2-star rating — every other nearby campus is rated 0 or 1 star. Its math proficiency of 48.9% beats the district (30.4%) and the state (44.9%), and it leads the next-best neighborhood school, Como Park Elementary, by 18.7 points in math. Reading is a different story: at 33.0%, Prodeo is only 0.5 points ahead of the nearest peer and 15.6 points below the state. The school reaches these results while serving a high-poverty population (93.23% free and reduced lunch) and with the lowest student–teacher ratio in the group (9.5, down from 20.5 three years ago).

The school's most striking strength is how well it serves specific groups: English Language Learner students rank at the 85th percentile (4 stars) and low-income students at the 59th–62nd percentile (3 stars), both consistently above average across multiple years. The clearest weak spots are special education (18th percentile) and grade 3 reading, where 18.6% proficiency sits 28 points below the state while grade 4 reading reaches 45.1%. Because the school enrolls only 133 students, single-year swings in smaller groups can be noisy — the multi-year patterns are the more reliable signals.
