Bryn Mawr Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 763 and 864 out of around 870 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state. Bryn Mawr Elementary lags behind the Minneapolis Public School District and the state of Minnesota in proficiency rates for both math and reading, with particularly low performance in 5th grade.
