Summary:
The Journey School in Saint Paul, Minnesota consists of one elementary school and one middle school, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state averages. Based on the data provided, these schools face significant challenges in providing quality education to their predominantly low-income and minority student populations.
The The Journey School and The Journey School Middle have alarmingly low test scores, with math proficiency rates of just 6.9% and 0% respectively, compared to the Minnesota average of 45.47%. Reading proficiency is also well below state levels, at 20.69% and 8% compared to 49.85% statewide. These schools serve a high proportion of students from low-income families, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The racial makeup of the schools is diverse, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students. However, this diversity is not translating into academic success, as the data suggests that these schools are struggling to meet the needs of their underrepresented student populations. Additionally, the relatively high student-teacher ratios of around 15 students per teacher may be a contributing factor to the low performance. Overall, the The Journey School district appears to require significant intervention and support to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
