Centerview Elementary

Summary:

Centerview Elementary is a public elementary school in Blaine, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Spring Lake Park Public Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges, including consistently low academic performance, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and significant achievement gaps for certain subgroups.

Centerview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages on the MCA-III assessments. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic students and students with special needs, who rank in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools in these categories. In contrast, the school's performance for Asian and African American students is relatively stronger, with these groups ranking in the middle or upper-middle range of Minnesota elementary schools. The high-performing Elementary Lighthouse school, also part of the Spring Lake Park district, demonstrates that the district is capable of supporting high-achieving schools, suggesting there may be opportunities for improvement at Centerview Elementary.

Another key differentiating factor for Centerview Elementary is the significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 38.5% in 2020-2021 to 56.43% in 2022-2023. This high rate of economically disadvantaged students is higher than the state and district averages. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio may be a strength, the data suggests that the Spring Lake Park district and Centerview Elementary leadership should explore strategies to address the school's underperformance and support the diverse needs of its 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.
