Summary

Ramsey Elementary is a K–5 school in Ramsey, Minnesota, serving about 910 students as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, one of the larger elementary schools in its immediate area. For 2025–26, it ranks 571 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 34th percentile, with 2 stars — a substantial drop from 2022–23, when it ranked 253 of 845 at the 70th percentile with 4 stars. The district as a whole ranks 184 of 458 statewide (60th percentile, 3 stars), so Ramsey is currently performing below its own district context.

Achievement is mixed. Math is 46.7%, slightly above the state's 44.9% but 4.3 points below the district. Reading is 39.9%, trailing the district by 11.0 points and the state by 8.7 points. Science is the standout weakness at 14.9% — lower than every nearby school with reported 2025–26 results, including Dayton Elementary (23.3%), Lincoln Elementary School for Arts (19.4%), and even Modern Montessori Charter School (16.7%), which has a lower overall rank. Reading swings by grade: 5th grade is 50.0%, within 4.5 points of the state, while 4th grade is 32.8%, 16.0 points below both district and state. Math also weakens in the upper grades, from 56.4% in 3rd to 38.9% in 5th. Class size does not appear to be the issue — the student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is more favorable than Andover Elementary, Rum River Elementary, Brookside Elementary, and PACT Charter Elementary, all of which outperform Ramsey.

Scores have declined across all core subjects over four years: math down about 17.8 points, reading about 15.5 points, and science about 42.7 points, from 57.63% to 14.9%. The school's effectiveness rankings for different student groups are uneven — English Language Learner students (78th percentile, 4 stars) and African American students (74th percentile, 4 stars) rank well above the school's overall standing, while several other groups rank lower. The free/reduced-lunch rate is 53.08%, higher than most nearby high performers. Priorities to watch are science, 4th-grade reading, and upper-elementary math.
