Hmong International Elementary

Summary:

Hmong International Elementary is a public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 234 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a unique racial makeup, with a balanced representation of Asian (35.47%) and African American (35.04%) students, as well as a significant population of students identifying as two or more races (14.53%).

Despite this diversity, Hmong International Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with proficiency rates significantly below the state and district averages in both math and reading. The school's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Asian students, African American students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Over 93% of Hmong International Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Lucy Laney Elementary, Cityview Elementary, and Nellie Stone Johnson Elementary, also struggle academically, with most of them ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Minnesota elementary schools. However, these schools generally perform better than Hmong International Elementary. The nearby MPS Online K-5 virtual school also struggles academically, suggesting that the challenges faced by Hmong International Elementary may not be unique to the physical school environment.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Hmong International Elementary

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2022	252	29.5	8.5	78.2
2023	234	23.1	10.1	93.2

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
