New Code Academy Elementary

Summary:

New Code Academy Elementary is a public virtual elementary school located in Bloomington, Minnesota, serving 89 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Bloomington Public School District, which is ranked 251 out of 448 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Normandale Hills Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, and Poplar Bridge Elementary, New Code Academy Elementary has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. However, the school's academic performance on the MCA-III tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 24% of students proficient or better in math, compared to 39.11% for the district and 45.49% for the state.

Additionally, New Code Academy Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.55%), which is higher than nearby schools but lower than some other schools in the district. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.3, suggesting more individualized attention, but this has not translated into higher academic achievement. These findings raise questions about the effectiveness of virtual learning, especially for younger students from diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and the need for additional support or resources to help these students succeed.

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.
