Summary

American Indian Magnet School is a PK–8 school serving 571 students on Saint Paul's East Side as part of Saint Paul Public Schools, a district ranked 346th of 458 in Minnesota. On state rankings, the school has sat near the bottom for years: 831st of 869 schools in 2025–26, the 4th percentile, with 0 stars. It has ranked between the 0th and 6th percentile statewide for roughly the past decade, with no sustained upward movement.

Test scores trail district and state averages in every core subject. In 2025–26, 9.8% of students met standards in math (district 27.8%, state 44.9%), 20.1% in reading (district 34.2%, state 48.6%) and 10.1% in science (district 19.0%, state 25.5%). Math is the clearest weakness and gets weaker in higher grades: 19.0% in 3rd grade, then 11.8%, 9.1%, 7.1%, just 3.1% in 7th grade and 8.9% in 8th. Reading is the strongest all-grade subject and improves in the upper grades, reaching 29.5% in 8th grade. Eighth-grade science, at 18.2%, is above both the district (11.9%) and the state (16.7%).

Compared with nearby schools, math is where American Indian Magnet School lags most — below Daytons Bluff Elementary (28.8%), Farnsworth Aerospace Lower (24.4%), Nokomis Montessori South Campus (16.7%) and HOPE Community Academy Elementary (12.8%), ahead of only Bruce F Vento Elementary (6.3%) and LIFE Prep (8.9%). Its reading results top Bruce F Vento, Daytons Bluff and HOPE Community Academy. L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion stands out locally with 49.2% math, 50.4% reading and 41.7% science. About 84.24% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 13.3. For parents, one bright spot: the school's effectiveness ranking for Special Education students is the 36th percentile (2 stars) and for Native American students the 26th percentile (1 star) — both far above its overall 4th percentile — and reading and science proficiency have edged up over the past few years.
