Summary

American Indian Magnet School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Saint Paul Public Schools, a district ranked 345 out of 446 in Minnesota with a 1-star rating.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, American Indian Magnet School consistently performs below district and state averages on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) in both math and reading. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.85% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to 26.55% for the district and 45.21% for the state. In reading, the school's proficiency rate was 19.42%, compared to 34.82% for the district and 49.59% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30 out of 38 Minnesota elementary schools for Native American students in math and reading.

While American Indian Magnet School is part of the Saint Paul Public Schools district, it performs significantly worse than other nearby schools, both district-run and charter. For example, Txuj Ci HMong Language & Culture Lo and Nokomis Montessori South Campus, both district magnet schools, outperform American Indian Magnet School on the MCA assessments. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance, but further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and develop effective strategies for improvement.
