Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary is a public elementary school in Mankato, Minnesota, serving 416 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Mankato Public School District, which is ranked 103 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Rosa Parks Elementary has consistently been ranked in the middle range of Minnesota elementary schools, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading were 54.09% and 44.34%, respectively, compared to 54.98% and 54.42% for the district, and 45.21% and 49.59% for the state. The school's 4th-grade Reading proficiency rate of 29.85% was particularly low compared to the district's 56.38% and the state's 46.29%.

Interestingly, Eagle Lake Elementary, Hoover Elementary, and Kennedy Elementary, which are also part of the Mankato Public School District, generally outperform Rosa Parks Elementary on standardized tests and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. However, Rosa Parks Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that class size is not a significant factor in its performance.
