Loring Elementary is a public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 281 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 300 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loring Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 10 years, with its performance on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 24.52% of Loring students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 45.21% statewide and 35.79% in the district. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Loring Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53% to 68.94% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The nearby schools within the Minneapolis Public School District, such as Hmong International Elementary, Cityview Elementary, and Lucy Laney Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures, ranking in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools. However, some nearby schools outside the Minneapolis district, such as Lakeview Elementary (Robbinsdale Public Schools) and New Millennium Academy Charter, perform better academically, indicating that higher-performing options may be available for families in the area.
