Summary:
The 55130 zip code area of Saint Paul, Minnesota is home to three elementary schools: HOPE Community Academy Elementary, Bruce F Vento Elementary, and Community of Peace Academy Elementary. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Hope Community Academy, Saint Paul Public Schools, and Community Of Peace Academy districts, respectively.
Based on the available data, none of the three elementary schools in the 55130 zip code area stand out as clear academic performers. All three schools have significantly lower math and reading proficiency rates compared to the state averages, with the gap ranging from 20 to 40 percentage points. HOPE Community Academy Elementary has the highest overall proficiency rates among the three schools, but its performance is still well below the state standards. The other two schools, Bruce F Vento Elementary and Community of Peace Academy Elementary, have even lower proficiency rates, with Bruce F Vento Elementary being the lowest performing of the three.
The data also reveals that all three schools serve populations with high levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.97% to 92.68%. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary, with HOPE Community Academy Elementary having the lowest ratio at 8.1 students per teacher, and Community of Peace Academy Elementary having the highest ratio at 14.8 students per teacher. While the relationship between student-teacher ratio and academic performance is not conclusive, it may be worth further investigation as a potential factor in the schools' struggles to improve student outcomes.
