Williams Elementary

Summary:

Williams Elementary is a public elementary school located in Shoreview, Minnesota, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 428. It is part of the Roseville Public School District, which is ranked 241 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Williams Elementary consistently outperforms the Roseville Public School District and the state of Minnesota in proficiency rates for MCA-III Math and Reading assessments across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, Williams Elementary had 56.92% of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 37.95% for the district and 45.47% for the state. In the same year, 62.11% of Williams Elementary students were proficient or better in MCA-III Reading, compared to 45.71% for the district and 49.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 4th grade Math and Reading, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Williams Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, such as Island Lake Elementary, the performance of certain subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, suggests that the school may need to address achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. The increase in free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the school may also indicate a need to provide additional support and resources for students from low-income families. Overall, Williams Elementary is a strong-performing elementary school, but it may have room for improvement to reach the level of excellence demonstrated by some of the top-performing schools in the Mounds View Public School District.

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.
