Summary

Hmong International Elementary is a public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 208 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Hmong International Elementary consistently performs significantly below the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.7% of Hmong International students were proficient or better in math, compared to 35.79% for the district and 45.21% for the state. Similarly, only 9.4% of Hmong International students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 40.79% for the district and 49.59% for the state. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Minnesota, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of all elementary schools in the state over the past three school years.

While the nearby Lucy Laney Elementary, Cityview Elementary, and Hall Academy Elementary also perform significantly below the district and state averages, they generally outperform Hmong International Elementary. The school's high poverty rates, with over 85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and potential language barriers, with a high percentage of English Language Learners, may contribute to the challenges it faces in serving its student population effectively.
