Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary

Summary:

Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary is a public charter elementary school located in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, serving 67 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly African American student population of 85.07%.

The school's academic performance, as measured by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is significantly lower than the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 25.93% of all grades were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 45.47%, and only 18.52% were proficient or better in Reading, compared to the state average of 49.85%. This racial disparity in academic performance suggests the need for further investigation into the underlying factors, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and cultural responsiveness. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.07% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges in terms of access to educational resources and overall student support.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as 279Online Learning Program K-5, Zanewood Community School STEAM, and Woodland Elementary, Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary stands out as an outlier in terms of its racial composition, academic performance, and socioeconomic status. This highlights the need for targeted interventions to address the identified challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students. However, the school's performance in 4th-grade Math (41.67% proficient or better) suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support.

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.
