Summary

Peter Hobart Elementary is a K–5 neighborhood school at 6500 W 26th St in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, serving 435 students as part of the St. Louis Park Public School District. Saint Louis Park is a first-ring Minneapolis suburb, and this school serves a moderately high-poverty population: 43.9% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25, down from 48.5% two years earlier. Class sizes are reasonable, at a 14.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio.

Math is the school's clear strength. At 52.3% proficient, Peter Hobart beats both its district (47.8%) and the state (44.9%), and it has outscored both in each of the last four years. Reading is the relative soft spot: 48.0% proficient, below the district (50.3%) and just under the state (48.6%), ranking third among the district's four K–5 schools. Science, at 22.7%, also falls below district and state — down from 42.7% two years ago, though district and state scores fell almost as sharply, suggesting an assessment change rather than a school-specific collapse. Nearby, Park Spanish Immersion Elementary is the district's outlier at the 91st percentile with 75.8% math proficiency, while Aquila Elementary is nearly an identical twin on every measure. Kenwood Elementary in Minneapolis serves more low-income students yet posts 42.5% science, and Bryn Mawr Elementary shows the low end at the 7th percentile.

Overall, Peter Hobart ranked 413th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26, the continuation of a genuine rebound: from 2016-17 through 2022-23 the school sat in the 31st–42nd percentile, and it has since held in the 48th–56th range. The clearest remaining gap is third-grade reading, at 40.3% — 8.8 points below the district — while fourth and fifth grade reading sit near or above state level. Special education students rank in the 80th percentile statewide, though results for the school's lowest-income and English-learner students trail its overall numbers. In short: a solidly average, improving neighborhood school that is above state in math and at or below it in reading and science.
