Summary

Adams Magnet Elementary is a PK–5 school in Saint Paul, MN, serving 605 students in Saint Paul Public Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 475 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (45th percentile, 2 stars), up from between the 16th and 25th percentile with 1 star in 2015–2016 through 2020–2021. The district ranks 346 of 458 districts in Minnesota (24th percentile, 1 star).

Academically, Adams is a district bright spot but mid-pack statewide. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates are 47.9% in math, 46.4% in reading, and 25.0% in science; district rates are 27.8%, 34.2%, and 19.0%, and state rates are 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Math is the relative strength—20.1 points above the district and slightly above the state—while reading is above the district but slightly below the state, and science is at the state level but the clearest concern. Grade-level data show 3rd-grade math and 5th-grade reading above state averages, while 4th- and 5th-grade math and 3rd- and 4th-grade reading trail the state. Among nearby schools, Adams ranks 4th of 11, behind Nova Classical Academy Lower School, Randolph Heights Elementary, and Somerset Elementary, but ahead of EXPO for Excellence Elementary School and Barack & Michelle Obama Montessori; within Saint Paul Public Schools, only Randolph Heights clearly ranks higher.

Adams’s 40.5% free/reduced-lunch rate and 14.7 student–teacher ratio are moderate for the comparison set. Its overall 45th-percentile standing masks uneven results across student groups: low-income students rank in the bottom quartile at 22nd percentile with 1 star and a declining trend, while English learners are at 31st percentile and special education students at 35th; male students rank 54th and female students 38th. Targeted support for low-income, English-learner, and special education students would have the largest potential impact. Top nearby performers serve lower-poverty populations, but poverty does not explain the pattern—Barack & Michelle Obama Montessori has a lower free/reduced-lunch rate than Adams yet lower proficiency and rank, and Adams outperforms several higher-poverty nearby schools. Overall, Adams has improved substantially, performs well above its district average, and is strongest in math; its main challenges are science, reading decline, and uneven subgroup effectiveness.
