Regarding demographic and socioeconomic factors, Minneapolis Elementary has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (50.76%) compared to Minneapolis Junior-Senior High School (45.03%), and the high school also has a higher spending per student ($13,555) compared to the elementary school ($11,589).
