Summary

Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion is a K–5 elementary school in Saint Paul Park, Minnesota, enrolling 561 students as part of South Washington County Schools, and it is larger than most nearby same-district elementary schools. For 2025–2026 it ranked 447th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (49th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 144th of 458 (69th percentile, 3 stars). Academically, math proficiency was 50.4% — above the state’s 44.9% but slightly below the district’s 51.6% — while reading was 45.1%, below both the district (52.5%) and the state (48.6%), and science was 26.7%, close to the district (27.2%) and state (25.5%). The school has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate among nearby listed schools (18.36% in 2024–2025) but also the highest student/teacher ratio (18.6).

Two nearby comparisons stand out. Cottage Grove Elementary serves a slightly higher-poverty population (21.99% free/reduced lunch) with a lower student/teacher ratio (14.1), yet posted much higher 2025–2026 math (69.3% vs. 50.4%) and reading (58.3% vs. 45.1%) proficiency. Newport Elementary has a much higher free/reduced-lunch rate (54.55%) and a much lower student/teacher ratio (9.5), yet also outscored Nuevas Fronteras in math (53.2%) and science (37.8%), with similar reading (43.2%).

Grade-level results are uneven. Fourth-grade math was a bright spot at 68.9%, above both district and state, but 3rd-grade math (50%) and 5th-grade math (31.4%) fell below both, and 3rd-grade reading was notably low at 34.8% (district 52%, state 46.8%). All-grade science has dropped from 47.89% in 2023–2024 to 26.7% in 2025–2026. Among subgroup effectiveness rankings, Hispanic students were at the 79th percentile in 2025–2026 (4 stars), while low-SES students were at the 19th percentile (1 star) and English-learner students at the 0th percentile in 2024–2025. Early reading and support for lower-income and English-learner students appear to be the top priorities to watch.
