Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School

Summary:

Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School is an elementary public magnet school in Maple Grove, Minnesota, serving 638 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. This high-performing school consistently outshines the Osseo Public School District and the state of Minnesota in academic achievement, with 62.39% of its students proficient or better in MCA-III Math compared to 43.79% for the district and 45.47% for the state.

Weaver Lake's diverse student population, with 38.24% White, 29% African American, 19.75% Asian, and 8.62% two or more races, is a standout feature. The school excels in serving specific student subgroups, ranking 15th out of 310 Minnesota elementary schools for African American students and 73rd out of 154 for Asian students. However, the school's growing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 20.86% in 2020-2021 to 36.68% in 2022-2023, suggests a need to address the evolving needs of its student population.

While Weaver Lake outperforms nearby Elm Creek Elementary, Oak View Elementary, and Cedar Island Elementary, it lags behind the high-performing Wayzata Public School District schools, such as Meadow Ridge Elementary School. The school's growing student-teacher ratio, from 15.5 in 2020-2021 to 19.5 in 2022-2023, may also impact its ability to provide personalized attention to its expanding 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.
