Nokomis Montessori North Campus

Summary:

Nokomis Montessori North Campus is a public magnet elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 351 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school has a unique racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of Asian students compared to the district and state, it consistently underperforms on standardized tests, lagging behind both the district and state averages in math and reading proficiency.

Compared to other nearby magnet schools, such as L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion and Cornerstone Montessori Elementary, Nokomis Montessori North Campus performs significantly worse academically, with much lower proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, as well as lower statewide rankings. The school has also seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 719th out of 847 Minnesota elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 813th out of 881 in 2023-2024.

Notably, the school's low rankings for Asian, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students indicate that these groups may be facing unique challenges that the school is not effectively addressing. With a growing population of students from low-income families, as evidenced by the increase in free and reduced-price lunch rates, Nokomis Montessori North Campus will need to address these challenges to improve the educational outcomes for all of its students.

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.
