Northport Elementary

Summary:

Northport Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 483. The school is part of the Robbinsdale Public School District, which is ranked 330 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northport Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its diverse student population. The school has a significantly higher percentage of minority students compared to the state average, with 36.23% African American, 29.19% Hispanic, and 15.53% Asian students. Academically, Northport consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools, performing significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom quartile or bottom 10% for these subgroups.

Interestingly, Northport Elementary's academic performance is notably lower than the nearby Garden City Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, which are also part of the Robbinsdale Public School District. The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Northport, ranging from 67.89% to 85.92% over the past 3 years, may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and educational 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.
