Summary

Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary is a public charter elementary school located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 125 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Quantum STEAM Academy Charter district, which is ranked 393 out of 446 districts in the state.

Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Minnesota elementary schools in the past 4 years, with its performance on state assessments significantly below the state averages in both math and reading proficiency. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's math proficiency rate was 39.02%, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and its reading proficiency rate was only 19.51%, compared to the state average of 49.59%. The school's performance is also lower than the overall Quantum STEAM Academy Charter district average.

However, Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary appears to be doing a relatively good job in serving certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, ranking higher than the state average in these areas. The school is surrounded by several other public and charter elementary schools in the Saint Paul area, including Moreland Art/Health Science Magnet, Daytons Bluff Elementary, and Riverview Spanish/English Dual Imme, which generally outperform Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary on academic measures.
