Maxfield Elementary School

Summary:

Maxfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 355 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools based on statewide assessments.

Maxfield Elementary has a student population that is 51.27% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 21.72% to 64.75% African American students. The school's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are far below state and district averages, with only 5.97% of students proficient in Math compared to 45.47% statewide. Maxfield's student subgroups, such as African American students, English Language Learners, and students from low-income backgrounds, also perform in the bottom 10-20% of Minnesota elementary schools in their respective categories. The school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 94.08% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Jj Hill Montessori, Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo, and HGA Elementary have significantly higher academic performance and proficiency rates, despite serving similar student populations in terms of racial diversity and economic disadvantage. Maxfield's persistent low performance over the past decade suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of the student population and improve educational equity at the school.

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.
