Summary:
Susan Lindgren Elementary is a public elementary school in St. Louis Park Public School District, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.
With a student body that is 52.3% White, 24.65% African American, 9.91% Hispanic, 2.07% Asian, and 9.22% two or more races, Susan Lindgren Elementary has a higher level of racial diversity than schools like Highlands Elementary and Normandale Elementary. Academically, the school outperforms the district and state averages, with 56.41% of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 46.57% for the district and 45.47% for Minnesota. However, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting factors beyond just test scores may be at play.
When compared to nearby schools, Susan Lindgren Elementary stands out for its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.1 to 14.1 over the past three years, lower than the 17.2 ratio at Normandale Elementary. However, the school's performance gaps among student subgroups, such as its African American, Hispanic, and special education students performing below the state average, and its growing population of economically disadvantaged students, suggest areas for improvement. Overall, Susan Lindgren Elementary appears to be a solid-performing school with a diverse student body, but there is room for progress, especially in addressing the needs of underserved student groups.
