Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary

Q: Is Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary a good school?

Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary ranks 639 th of 881 Minnesota elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary is a public charter elementary school located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 123 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 81.3% Asian, 16.26% African American, and 2.44% Hispanic students.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance in supporting English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 5 out of 303 Minnesota elementary schools for ELL students with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's overall math and reading proficiency rates are below the state averages, though its Asian student subgroup performs significantly better, ranking 80 out of 154 Minnesota elementary schools in math proficiency with a 2-star rating. The school also has a very high percentage of students (96.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools in the Saint Paul Public Schools district, such as Como Park Elementary and Mississippi Creative Arts Elementary, Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary's performance is generally lower, with lower proficiency rates in math and reading. This raises questions about access and equity in the school's enrollment and recruitment practices, as the student population is predominantly Asian with much lower representation of other racial groups. Despite these challenges, the school's strengths in supporting its ELL students suggest that it may have effective strategies and practices that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for other student subgroups.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2023	123	6.0	20.5	96.7

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
