Summary

Mississippi Elementary is a K–5 school in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, enrolling 439 students as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, in a community where roughly 57% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In 2025–26 it ranked 305th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 65th percentile, or 3 stars — its best showing in seven years and a placement in the middle of the pack among nearby schools, which range from 83 to 1,114 students.

Math is the school's clear strength. Mississippi's 61.3% math proficiency is about 10 points above the district and 16 points above the state, and second only to Oxbow Creek Elementary in this comparison group — a school with less than half Mississippi's poverty rate. What stands out most is how well the school serves its higher-need students: low-income students rank at the 84th percentile (4 stars), English learners at the 83rd, and special-education students at the 73rd. All three groups outrank the school's own overall 65th percentile, the opposite of the usual pattern. Low-income students have earned 4 stars for three straight years. Among nearby schools with similar poverty levels, Mississippi leads in math — ahead of Hoover Elementary BioMed Sci Egng by nearly 6 points and well ahead of Hamilton Elementary and Lincoln Elementary School for Arts, despite serving more disadvantaged students than some of them.

Reading is the soft spot: at 49.8%, Mississippi is a rare school that falls slightly below its own district average (50.9%). The school's recent ranking jump rests heavily on one outstanding current 3rd-grade class — 78.2% proficient in math, 20 points above the state — while the 4th grade reads 14 points below both district and state and 5th-grade math trails the district by 10 points. The school has held 3 stars for ten consecutive years, never breaking into the top tier. In short, Mississippi is a stable, above-average, equity-focused school whose next two years will show whether this is a lasting step up or a single-cohort bump.
