Summary

Pratt Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 66 Malcolm Ave SE in southeast Minneapolis, serving 196 students as part of the Minneapolis Public School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 785 of 869 Minnesota schools — the 10th percentile — with a 0-star rating, the lowest point in the ten years of rank history available. Class sizes are a genuine strength: the student–teacher ratio was 7.8 to 1 in 2024–2025.

Proficiency now runs at roughly half the district rate in every subject: 19.3% in math (district 37.1%), 22.1% in reading (district 41.8%), and 11.1% in science (district 21.7%). Three years earlier, in 2022–2023, Pratt scored 36.3% in math — slightly above the district's 35.1% — and 39.8% in reading, essentially at district level, so the decline is recent and steep. Nearby comparisons bracket the school: Universal Academy Elementary, about 1.6 miles away with a higher poverty rate, posted 36.8% in math and 41.3% in reading, while Seward Elementary, a less poor Minneapolis school roughly a mile away, reached 42.9% in reading.

Some student groups are served better than the school's overall rank suggests: English Language Learners reached the 44th percentile with 2 stars, up from 19th three years earlier, and special education students reached the 33rd percentile. The weakest spots are the beginning and end of the grade band — 3rd-grade reading sits at 9.1% and 3rd-grade math at 15.2%, while 5th grade posted 30.8% in reading but 11.1% in both math and science. Science is also the most volatile measure here, falling from above the district rate in 2024–2025 to 11.1% a year later.

What people are saying

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

How can a parent rate this school highly when it's rated one of the 10 worst schools in the state?! The community may very well gather around this school and keep it from closing, however, that doesn't seem to be doing much to ensure the children at this school are meeting basic requirements. Look at their test scores! The children are being cheated by adults who are accepting mediocrity and/or substandard academic performance as the standard. SAD!! Close Quote

Over the past 7 years, this school has been repeatedly threatended with closure by the Minneapolis School District because of it's small size. Every time, however, the community gathers around this school and the Minneapolis School Board protects it. If you are looking for a small community school where all the staff will know your child and you can be a highly effective parent this is the school for you. The school benefits from it's proximity to the University of Minnesota for additional teaching, arts and science curriculum. The student population is a wonderfully diverse mix of cultures. The building is the oldest remaining Minneapolis School building - a charmer. The staff is top-notch and dedicated to this hidden gem. Highly recommended. Close Quote
