Summary

Hamline Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving about 272 students as part of Saint Paul Public Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 796th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 8th percentile, rated 0 stars — below its district's average. Proficiency was 17.6% in math, 23.8% in reading, and 12.1% in science, versus district rates of 27.8%, 34.2%, and 19.0%. About 77.9% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Locally, Hamline ranks fourth-lowest of ten nearby schools in math and reading, but roughly at the local median in science. Its only same-district neighbor, Four Seasons Elementary, reports less than half its math (8.8%) and reading (10.6%) proficiency. Yet schools serving higher-poverty populations do considerably better: HGA Elementary, at 94.3% free/reduced lunch, posts 49.5% math proficiency, and Midway Star Academy (99.8%) beats Hamline in reading, 38.2% to 23.8%. Hamline's low 10.9:1 student–teacher ratio — among the lowest locally — has not translated into results, as Great River Elementary School (21.5:1) and Twin Cities German Immersion Charter (16.4:1) have larger classes and far stronger outcomes.

Hamline has never exceeded the 20th percentile in the available record. A 2024–25 rebound to the 14th percentile (1 star) was only partly sustained, though math and reading remain above their 2023–24 lows. Science is the relative bright spot — the smallest gap to the district and above the average of nearby high-poverty schools — and in 2024–25 the school actually exceeded its district in science. Reading generally outpaces math; 5th-grade reading (30.3%) is the strongest measure, 5th-grade math (12.5%) the weakest. English learners are the strongest measured subgroup, ranking in the 35th percentile statewide among English learners in 2024–25.
