Summary

St. Anthony Park Elementary is a K–6 school with 451 students in Saint Paul, MN, serving a moderately economically diverse neighborhood where about 35.25% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 and the student–teacher ratio was 15.5. It is part of Saint Paul Public Schools, a district rated 346th of 458 in Minnesota (24th percentile, 1 star), yet the school itself is a 4-star school ranked 119th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 86th percentile.

In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 68.7% in math, 65.6% in reading, and 36.4% in science. Those results are well above district averages (27.8% math, 34.2% reading, 19.0% science) and state averages (44.9% math, 48.6% reading, 25.5% science). The school also outperforms every nearby school in all three tested subjects. The next-strongest nearby school, Chelsea Heights Elementary (71st percentile), trails by about 10 points in math, 9 points in reading, and 4 points in science. Great River Elementary School has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (17.75%) and larger classes (21.5 students per teacher) but much lower math (31.5%) and science (25.8%) proficiency. Other nearby schools have far smaller classes yet far lower proficiency — suggesting school-level factors, not demographics or class size alone, drive these results.

Performance has been consistently strong rather than a one-year spike: 4 stars every year shown, with percentile ranks from 71 to 87. Math and reading are now at their highest levels in the last four years, and the 86th percentile is close to the school's 2016–2017 high of 87th and up from the 72nd percentile in 2022–2023. The clearest concern is science, which fell from 65.98% in 2023–2024 to 38.96% in 2024–2025 and 36.4% in 2025–2026 — still above district and state averages, but now far below the school's math and reading results, and worth monitoring. Effectiveness for student groups, including students in special education, English language learners, and low-income students, is generally strong, though not uniform.
