Marcy Elementary

Summary:

Marcy Elementary is a public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 481 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marcy Elementary has a diverse student population, with 39.92% African American, 26.61% White, 10.6% Hispanic, 3.53% Asian, and 5.41% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.17% of Marcy students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 34.66% for the district and 45.47% for the state. The school's performance is also lower across all grade levels and subject areas, with Marcy ranking in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools for most student groups, including female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This is particularly concerning given that 72.14% of Marcy students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

While Marcy Elementary's performance is lower than the district and state averages, the nearby schools within the Minneapolis Public School District also struggle academically. Schools like Pillsbury Elementary, Webster Elementary, and Las Estrellas Elementary have similar low performance levels and rankings, indicating broader challenges within the district. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the needs of Marcy Elementary's diverse and disadvantaged student population.

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.
