of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Summary

Maxfield Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 380 Victoria St N in Saint Paul, Minnesota, part of Saint Paul Public Schools, serving 331 students in a community where 88.5% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25.

Academically, Maxfield Elementary School ranked 829 of 869 Minnesota schools in 2025-26 (5th percentile, 0 stars), and in a decade of rankings it never rose above the 7th percentile. Its 2025-26 proficiency rates are 13.2% in math, 19.6% in reading, and 2.6% in science — science being roughly one-tenth of the state rate and the school's deepest gap. Among nearby schools, Maxfield posts higher reading results than The Journey School (9.6%), St. Paul City Primary School (7.9%), and Benjamin E Mays IB World School (8.6%), but trails Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo, Barack & Michelle Obama Montessori, and HGA Elementary by 20 to 45 percentage points in math. Notably, HGA Elementary reports 94.3% free/reduced lunch yet 49.5% math proficiency, so poverty alone does not explain the difference.

Inside the building, math declines by grade (20.5% in 3rd, 12.5% in 4th, 5.3% in 5th) while reading rises (11.9%, 21.9%, 26.3%), so the 5th grade is simultaneously the weakest in math and science and the strongest in reading. One standout: in 2022-23, English Language Learners ranked at the 78th percentile (4 stars) — the only 4-star result on record, and best read as a signal to investigate rather than an established pattern. Maxfield's student-teacher ratio of 12.2 is more favorable than Capitol Hill's 21.6 and HGA's 17.6, yet results do not follow.
