Summary

St. Louis Park Middle School, at 2025 Texas Ave S in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in the St. Louis Park Public School District with 965 students, making it the largest middle school in its nearby comparison group. It ranks 173rd of 546 Minnesota middle schools — the 68th percentile, 3 stars — and its statewide standing has risen for five straight years, from the 42nd percentile in 2021–22 to 68th now, a 26-point climb.

Among nine nearby middle schools, it posts the second-best results, behind only Wayzata East Middle School, which serves a much wealthier community. Math proficiency (39.4) beats every other peer except Wayzata East, and reading (49.7) is above the state average of 48.6 and fourth of the nine. The school also outperforms Hopkins North Middle School, The FAIR School - Crystal, Hopkins West Middle School, Plymouth Middle, Sandburg Middle School, Robbinsdale Middle, and Anwatin Middle. Roughly 37% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-to-teacher ratio is 18.3.

Reading sits essentially at the state line in grades 6, 7, and 8. Seventh-grade math is above the state, while the clearest soft spot is 8th-grade math, about 7 points below it. Eighth-grade science (20.7) is above the state's 8th-grade rate, but science scores swing widely year to year. For parents, the main things to watch are the groups the overall gains have not yet reached: low-income students' results have been flat for three years, and English learners remain below the school average, even as students in special education improved sharply. The gap between female and male students has narrowed to 8 points.

Identity politics has undermined academic rigor. Race and human relations have become the centerpiece. In an attempt to lift all boats, the flagship sunk. Close Quote

I truly appreciate the special ed department of the Junior High. The two people who were most helpful for my son was Kathryn Storlein and Jason Boll. Thank-you very much for helping my son to become the person he is today. He will be a Junior at the Senior High this year!!
