SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of Minnesota elementary schools

Summary

Marcy Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school in Northeast Minneapolis serving 415 students, part of the Minneapolis Public School District, with a student–teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 and a high-need population (68.9% free or reduced-price lunch).

In 2025–2026, Marcy ranked 668 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (23rd percentile, 1 star), and it trails both its district and the state in math, reading, and science. The more important story is the direction of travel: reading proficiency rose from 21.0% in 2023–2024 to 38.5% in 2025–2026, math climbed 10 points, and the school moved from the 9th to the 23rd percentile in two years. Marcy is the only one of its nearby district peers improving — Pillsbury Elementary, Webster Elementary, and Las Estrellas Elementary are flat or sliding. That context matters, because Northeast Minneapolis's district elementary cluster is uniformly low-performing, and Marcy is currently the strongest of that local group — ahead of the next-best school by 6.8 points in math, 14.5 points in reading, and 3.9 points in science.

Within the school, there are clear bright spots and specific soft spots. Fourth-grade reading (42.9%) is the one measure where Marcy matches its district average (42.7%), and reading has improved steadily across grade levels, narrowing the district gap to near-parity. Special education students rank at the 56th percentile statewide — a genuine programmatic strength. Fifth grade is the weak point: 5th-grade math sits at 18.0%, about 14 points below the district, and science remains Marcy's weakest subject overall at 17.5%. Those are concentrated, identifiable problems rather than school-wide ones. Marcy is still a bottom-quartile school by state ranking, but its recent gains are real, broad, and largely unmatched by its neighbors.
