Summary

Stevenson Elementary is a PK–4 school in Fridley, Minnesota, part of the Fridley Public School District, serving 459 students at 6080 E River Rd with a student/teacher ratio of 11.5:1 and 70.59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. On the 2025-26 state ranking it placed 641st of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 26th percentile, 1 star — a bottom-quartile result that is still the highest ranking in its ten-year history. Because Stevenson stops at 4th grade while most nearby schools run through 5th or 6th, it reports no science scores; Minnesota gives its science test in 5th grade.

Proficiency is improving: in 2025-26, 39.3% of students met standards in math and 36.5% in reading, a 5.4-point math gain and a 5.9-point reading gain in a single year after three flat-to-declining years. Both figures are above the district (29.2% math, 32.0% reading) but below the state (44.9% math, 48.6% reading), with reading showing the wider gap. Among ten nearby schools, Stevenson is the second-strongest performer. Monroe Elementary School - MSE scores higher (64.6% math) but serves far fewer low-income students. Hayes Elementary, 1.17 miles away in the same district, finished ahead of Stevenson in 2024-25 but fell well behind in 2025-26 (31.3% vs. 39.3% math). Evergreen Park Elementary-STEM serves a nearly identical share of low-income students (72.75% vs. 70.59%) yet scores 15.9 points lower in math and 13.0 points lower in reading.

Results also split sharply by grade. Third-grade math, at 31.9%, sits 26 points below the state and is essentially level with the district average, while fourth-grade math (47.6%) runs nearly 9 points above it. Most student groups — including English learners, students with disabilities, and low-income students — improved or held steady over three years, and boys have moved ahead of girls in relative standing. Class sizes have dropped to mid-pack and show no clear link to results. The clearest remaining concerns are third-grade math and one student group that has stayed in the bottom quartile for three straight years.
