Raleigh Primary/Elementary Academy

Summary:

Raleigh Primary/Elementary Academy is a public charter elementary school in Duluth, Minnesota, serving 192 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Duluth Public Schools Academy district, which is ranked 319 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Raleigh Primary/Elementary Academy has a predominantly white student population, with 76.56% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from 28.87% to 51.22% in math and reading. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for white students and special education students. In contrast, the school performs better for low socioeconomic status students. Raleigh's student-teacher ratio is lower than the district and state averages, but this does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Congdon Elementary, which is part of the Duluth Public School District, Raleigh Primary/Elementary Academy generally performs worse academically. The school's racial diversity does not appear to be strongly correlated with its academic performance, and its low student-teacher ratio does not seem to be a significant factor in its overall academic outcomes.

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.
