Summary

St. Louis Park Middle School is a public middle school serving 938 students in grades 6-8 in the St. Louis Park Public School District in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 170th in 2015-2016 to 188th in 2024-2025, despite maintaining above-average performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages.

While the school's overall academic performance is strong, with proficiency rates in Math (36.8%) and Reading (50.68%) above the district averages, there are significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. St. Louis Park Middle School struggles to support its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Minnesota middle schools. In contrast, the school's White and Asian students consistently perform at the top, with rankings in the top quartile.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Wayzata East Middle School consistently outperform St. Louis Park Middle School on state assessments, while the nearby Robbinsdale Middle and Sandburg Middle schools have significantly lower proficiency rates. Hopkins North Middle School, located just 1.81 miles away, has a similar performance profile to St. Louis Park Middle School.

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!!
