Summary

Little Canada Elementary is a K–6 school at 400 Eli Rd in Little Canada, Minnesota, serving 632 students as part of the Roseville Public School District. It is the largest K–6 elementary among the nearby Roseville schools compared here. About 57.28% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (2024–25), essentially unchanged over three years (56.78% and 58.43% before that), and the student–teacher ratio improved to 14.4 in 2024–25 from 16.6 the year before.

Academically, the school trails both its district and the state. In 2025–26, 22.2% of students were proficient in math, 29.5% in reading, and 12.5% in fifth-grade science — compared with 39.8%, 45.1%, and 20.4% district-wide, and 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5% statewide. Math proficiency is less than half the state rate, and science is close to half. This is not a one-year dip: the school has held a 1-star rating in each of the last ten reported years, with percentile standing ranging only from the 11th to the 23rd statewide. The contrast within its own district is striking — Parkview Center School, about 2.5 miles away in the same district, sits at the 71st percentile with 50.6% math and 57.8% reading proficiency.

Notably, several nearby schools serving higher-poverty populations post stronger results. Edgerton Elementary (74.55% free/reduced lunch) shows 37.9% math and 40.5% reading; Central Park Elementary (69.34%) shows 30.8% math; and Weaver Elementary (71.49%) shows 36.0% math and 33.0% reading. Statewide subgroup rankings for low-income students, special education students, English language learners, and male students all fall in the bottom decile, suggesting a school-wide pattern. The 2025–26 results rose in all three subjects but remain below the school's own 2022–23 levels, making the gain a rebound from a low base rather than a return to earlier standing. Science remains the weakest area.

I have had a chance to visit Little Canada Elementary School a few times over the last three months. I find the school holds great merits. The staff is quite approachable, and show great support to the diverse student body. The support net for student individual learning needs appears amazing. The head administrator was knowledgeable and freindly as were the office staff. Close Quote
