Adams Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates compared to the district and state. The school has a relatively diverse student population, with 42% White, 23.7% African American, 7.9% Hispanic, 14.55% Asian, and 11.64% two or more races. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 391 out of 853 Minnesota elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 722 out of 881 in 2023-2024. When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, Adams Elementary performs particularly poorly for White students, ranking 668 out of 730 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024, while performing better for English Language Learner students, ranking 87 out of 303 in 2023-2024.
Compared to other nearby schools in the Anoka-Hennepin School District, Adams Elementary consistently underperforms. For example, Madison Elementary, located just 2.57 miles away, ranks significantly higher and has much higher proficiency rates in MCA-III assessments. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.14% to 70.48% over the past few years, as well as the school's diverse student population, may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance at Adams Elementary. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 13.7 over the past few years, could be a positive factor, but it does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
