Summary

Maxfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 336 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Saint Paul Public Schools district, which is ranked 345 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Maxfield Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating.

Maxfield Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.57% of Maxfield students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 26.55% for the district and 45.21% for the state. Similarly, only 17.6% of Maxfield students were proficient or better in MCA-III Reading, compared to 34.82% for the district and 49.59% for the state. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30% of Minnesota elementary schools for African American students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Maxfield Elementary's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby magnet schools, such as Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo and Jj Hill Montessori, which are also part of the Saint Paul Public Schools district. These schools outperform Maxfield Elementary in both math and reading proficiency by a wide margin. While Maxfield Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be an asset in addressing its academic challenges, the school's high concentration of students from low-income families and its struggles to support the needs of various student subgroups suggest that it faces significant obstacles in improving student outcomes.
