Ramsey Elementary

Summary:

Ramsey Elementary is a public elementary school serving 747 students in grades K-5 in the Anoka-Hennepin School District in Ramsey, Minnesota. The school has a diverse student population, with 56.76% White, 23.29% African American, 5.62% Hispanic, 6.16% Asian, and 7.63% two or more races.

Ramsey Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. The school also demonstrates impressive results for certain student subgroups, ranking 43rd out of 310 Minnesota elementary schools for African American students and 27th out of 303 schools for English Language Learners. However, the school's performance is mixed when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Rum River Elementary and Andover Elementary.

One notable challenge for Ramsey Elementary is the significant increase in its free/reduced lunch rate, from 34.48% in 2020-2021 to 53.28% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite this, the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting it is providing a solid educational experience, but there may be room for improvement to reach the higher-performing status of some nearby schools.

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.
