Summary

Frost Lake Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Saint Paul Public Schools on Saint Paul’s East Side, serving 593 students at 1505 Hoyt Ave E.

Statewide, the school ranks in the 7th percentile with 0 stars and has never exceeded the 9th percentile in ten reported years, so this is a long-standing pattern rather than a one-year downturn. In 2025-26, 17.8% of students met math proficiency, 21.3% reading, and 5.3% science, compared with district rates of 27.8%, 34.2%, and 19.0%. Science is the sharpest concern: it is the second-lowest result among nearby schools with reported science scores and has fallen from 14.5% three years ago. Grade 5 is a pressure point, with math dropping to 9.3% after about 23% in grades 3 and 4, while reading stays flat near 21%. About 84.15% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.1. Compared with The Heights Community School (0.9 miles away, similar poverty, smaller ratio of 10.6), the school trails in math 17.8% vs. 23.8%, reading 21.3% vs. 25.8%, and science 5.3% vs. 8.0%. Farnsworth Aerospace Lower, with nearly identical poverty and ratio, posts math 24.4% vs. the school’s 17.8%, though the school is slightly ahead in reading. It does post higher math and reading results than higher-poverty neighbors Hazel Park Preparatory Academy and Academia Cesar Chavez Elementary, while L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion 1.4 miles away has 37.6% poverty and scores above state averages.

The clearest relative strength is the school’s effectiveness with English Language Learners, which ranks at the 38th percentile—about five times its overall 7th-percentile standing—and has been stable or slightly rising for three years. Special Education effectiveness ranks at the 2nd percentile, while low-socioeconomic-status results track the overall school figure closely. Because smaller subgroup results can swing sharply from year to year, those figures should be read cautiously, but together they suggest the school is below its district, which itself ranks at the 24th percentile, and faces specific challenges in science and upper-grade math.
