Davinci Academy

Summary:

Davinci Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Ham Lake, Minnesota, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 970 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Davinci Academy consistently performs above the state average in both math and reading proficiency, with 54.07% proficient or better in math and 61.53% proficient or better in reading for all grades in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly strong in certain subgroups, such as African American students (ranked 10th out of 310 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024) and English Language Learners (ranked 26th out of 303 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024). Davinci Academy has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools in recent years, with a ranking of 245 out of 881 schools in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance, particularly in math and reading proficiency, is generally higher than the nearby schools in the Anoka-Hennepin School District and the Spring Lake Park Public Schools district.

Davinci Academy's lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to nearby schools, such as Andover Elementary, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in math (83.84%) and reading (69.84%), suggests the school may be serving a more economically diverse student population. This could be a strength, as it allows the school to provide a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's performance for White students is relatively lower, ranking 345th out of 730 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024, indicating an area for potential improvement.

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.
