Elementary Schools in South St. Paul Public School District


Summary:

The South St. Paul Public School District is home to two elementary schools, Lincoln Center Elementary and Kaposia Education Center Elementary, both serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share similar profiles, they face significant challenges in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors.

Neither school stands out as a clear academic performer, with both ranking in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools and receiving 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The student populations at both schools are diverse, with a majority of non-white students, and they have high rates of free or reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Standardized test scores in math, reading, and science are consistently below state averages across all grade levels, suggesting a need for substantial improvement in academic achievement.

However, the schools do have some potential advantages, such as relatively low student-teacher ratios, which can provide more personalized attention and support for students. Addressing the challenges faced by the South St. Paul Public School District elementary schools will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students, particularly those facing socioeconomic disadvantages.
