Minneapolis Elementary

Summary:

Minneapolis Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Minneapolis, Kansas, part of the North Ottawa County school district. With a 2-star rating and a fluctuating statewide ranking between 203 and 388 over the past decade, the school faces several challenges in improving its academic performance.

While Minneapolis Elementary generally performs below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, it does outperform the North Ottawa County district average. The school has seen strong performance from its female and special education student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's white and low socioeconomic status student subgroups perform below average compared to the state. With a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a greater proportion of students from low-income households.

Compared to nearby schools like Ell-Saline Elementary and Tescott Elementary, Minneapolis Elementary spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, its academic performance still lags behind some of the higher-performing neighboring schools, such as Bennington Elementary. This highlights an opportunity for Minneapolis Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of its more successful peers and address the inconsistencies in its own academic performance.

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.
