Summary

Pullman Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 420 students in Saint Paul Park, Minnesota, part of South Washington County Schools. The school ranked 660 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 24th percentile, or 1 star — well below its own district, which ranked 144 of 458 (69th percentile, 3 stars). This is not a one-year dip: Pullman has been rated 1 star in most years since 2015–2016, with percentiles between 19 and 30; its strongest recent year was 2018–2019 at the 30th percentile and 2 stars. Enrollment is 420, with 39.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025 (down from 50.41% in 2022–2023) and a student–teacher ratio of 11.8 (up from 10.2).

Pullman is the lowest-ranked school in its local same-district cluster. Cottage Grove Elementary is at the 78th percentile with 4 stars, Armstrong Elementary at the 61st with 3 stars, Newport Elementary at the 53rd with 3 stars, and Pine Hill Elementary at the 33rd with 2 stars. In 2025–2026, Pullman's all-grade proficiency was 36.1% in math, 35.7% in reading, and 13.6% in science, versus 51.6%, 52.5%, and 27.2% district-wide and 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5% statewide. Gaps widen in upper grades: 5th-grade math 19.4%, 5th-grade science 13.6%, and 4th-grade reading 29.3%, while 3rd-grade math (52%) is closer to state norms. Science has fallen sharply, from 39.29% in 2022–2023 — near the state average — to 13.6%.

Poverty and class size do not fully explain these results. Pullman's free/reduced lunch rate (39.76%) and student–teacher ratio (11.8) are moderate compared with peers; Newport Elementary, with a higher free/reduced rate (54.55%) and a lower ratio (9.5), still posts higher proficiency in every subject. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are uneven: English Language Learner students ranked at the 55th percentile (3 stars) and low-income students at the 31st (2 stars), while special education students sat at the 15th percentile (1 star).
