Gate 4/5 consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Minnesota, ranking 1st or 2nd out of over 800 schools in the state for the past several years. This is reflected in their exceptional test scores, with 95% or more of students proficient or better in Math, Reading, and Science on the MCA-III assessments, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with over 84% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the racial makeup of the surrounding schools in the Stillwater district. Additionally, Gate 4/5 has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 4.84% to 5.17% over the past three years, significantly lower than the surrounding schools.

When comparing Gate 4/5 to the nearby schools in the Stillwater and Mahtomedi Public School District, several interesting insights emerge. While Gate 4/5 significantly outperforms the other Stillwater district schools on state assessments, the nearby schools, such as Lake Elmo Elementary and Rutherford Elementary, have more racially and ethnically diverse student populations. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios at the nearby Stillwater district schools are generally lower than Gate 4/5, suggesting more favorable staffing conditions.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
