North Metro Flex Middle School

Summary:

North Metro Flex Middle School is a small public charter middle school in North Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving just 42 students in grades 7-8. With a diverse student population that is majority Hispanic and African American, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state.

Academically, North Metro Flex Middle School struggles significantly, with only 17.65% of students proficient in Math and 37.14% proficient in Reading on the latest state assessments, well below the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85% respectively. The school's performance in Science is also low, with just 11.76% of students scoring proficient or better. This poor academic performance is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Sunrise Park Middle, which has a Math proficiency rate of 37.81%.

Contributing factors to North Metro Flex Middle School's struggles include a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (92.86% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and a small student-teacher ratio of just 10 students per teacher. While the small class sizes could be an advantage, the school's limited resources and the significant economic challenges faced by its student population appear to be significant barriers to improving academic outcomes. Compared to the Saint Paul Public Schools district and the state as a whole, North Metro Flex Middle School has a long way to go to provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
