Anishinabe Academy Elementary

Summary:

Anishinabe Academy Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota that serves 236 students in grades PK-5, with a majority Native American student population (66.1% in 2022-2023) and a high percentage of students from low-income families (over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite its unique racial composition, Anishinabe Academy Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Minnesota, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's Native American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform particularly poorly compared to their peers statewide, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Minnesota elementary schools for these subgroups. This persistent low performance has continued for over a decade, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by the school community.

Interestingly, Anishinabe Academy Elementary is located in close proximity to several other schools, both district-run and charter, that serve similar student populations but generally outperform the school on academic measures. This indicates that the school's challenges may be unique and require a tailored approach. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 12.2 students per teacher, could present an opportunity to develop a specialized curriculum that better serves the needs and cultural backgrounds of the majority Native American student population.

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.
