Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary

Summary:

Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary is a public charter elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 117 students from kindergarten to 4th grade, with a unique racial makeup of 100% African American students.

Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in both math and reading compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 39.47% of students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to the state average of 45.47%. The school has also experienced fluctuations in its student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 students per teacher in 2020-2021 to 25 students per teacher in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.52% in 2020-2021 to 99.15% in 2022-2023.

While the school's overall performance is low, its African American students and English Language Learner students have performed relatively better, ranking 113 out of 310 and 20 out of 303 Minnesota elementary schools, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. However, Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary's performance is significantly lower than the nearby Moreland Art/Health Science Magnet and St. Paul School of Northern Lights, which have higher proficiency rates in both math and reading. The school's unique challenges, including its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the fluctuations in student-teacher ratio, may be contributing factors to its academic struggles.

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.
