Spero Academy Brooklyn Park

Summary:

Spero Academy Brooklyn Park is a public charter elementary school serving 52 students in grades K-4 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, but its academic performance is significantly lower than the state and district averages, as well as nearby schools.

Spero Academy Brooklyn Park's proficiency rates in Math and Reading are only 17.86%, compared to the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for male students and special education students, ranking 784 out of 826 and 503 out of 572 Minnesota elementary schools, respectively. This underperformance is concerning, especially given the school's high percentage of students (55.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population.

While Spero Academy Brooklyn Park has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.9, which could be a potential strength, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's diverse student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present unique challenges that the school has yet to effectively address. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems for students may be necessary to identify the root causes of the school's underperformance and develop strategies for 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.
