Little Canada Elementary

Summary:

Little Canada Elementary is a public elementary school serving 623 students in grades K-6 in the Roseville Public School District in Minnesota. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 26.81% White, 11.4% African American, 40.93% Hispanic, 14.77% Asian, 0.48% Native American, and 5.62% two or more races.

Despite its diverse student body, Little Canada Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.47% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 45.47% statewide and 37.95% in the Roseville district. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Little Canada Elementary, ranging from 38.47% to 58.43% over the past three school years, is a key factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. In comparison, nearby schools like Parkview Center School and Edgerton Elementary, which have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, generally perform better academically. The school's diverse student population could be leveraged as a strength, but the persistent achievement gaps for certain subgroups suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve 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.

Open Quote I have had a chance to visit Little Canada Elementary School a few times over the last three months. I find the school holds great merits. The staff is quite approachable, and show great support to the diverse student body. The support net for student individual learning needs appears amazing. The head administrator was knowledgeable and freindly as were the office staff. Close Quote

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.
