Sanford Middle consistently ranks in the top 30% of Minnesota middle schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in reading.

The school's diversity is relatively balanced, with 57.05% White, 14.09% African American, 10.03% Hispanic, 2.44% Asian, and 8.67% Native American students. Additionally, Sanford Middle has seen a decrease in its free and reduced lunch rates, from 53.59% in 2020-2021 to 37.67% in 2022-2023, indicating a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to some nearby schools like Andersen Middle (71.44%) and Hiawatha College Prep - Northrop (95.65%).

While Sanford Middle performs well overall, there are notable disparities in the performance of certain student subgroups, with the school's African American and Hispanic students consistently ranking in the bottom half of Minnesota middle schools. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. Additionally, the school has experienced significant fluctuations in its student-teacher ratio, which may have impacted its academic performance. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Laura Jeffrey Academy Charter, which demonstrates even stronger academic outcomes, Sanford Middle could potentially learn from the practices and strategies of these schools to further enhance its educational outcomes.

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.
