Weaver Elementary

Summary:

Weaver Elementary is a public elementary school in Maplewood, Minnesota, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that has remained relatively consistent in recent years.

Weaver Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates in math and reading below state averages. The school's performance has declined over the years, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 312 out of 826 Minnesota elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 656 out of 881 in 2023-2024. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students performing relatively better but still below the state average, while African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, perform significantly worse. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, increasing from 45.2% in 2020-2021 to 72.5% in 2022-2023, suggests a high concentration of students from low-income families, which can be a significant factor in academic performance.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Justice Alan Page Elementary and Richardson Elementary, which are also part of the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale School District, perform similarly to Weaver Elementary in terms of academic proficiency and statewide rankings. However, some schools outside the district, like Edgerton Elementary (Roseville Public School District) and Cornerstone Montessori Elementary (public charter), perform better academically, suggesting that factors beyond the district may be influencing student 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.
