Four Seasons Elementary

Summary:

Four Seasons Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 266 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 37.22% African American, 24.06% Hispanic, 22.56% Asian, 8.65% two or more races, and 7.14% White.

Despite its low student-teacher ratio, Four Seasons Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Minnesota, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading assessments significantly lower than the state and Saint Paul Public Schools averages. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, with rankings for subgroups such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students all in the bottom 10-30% of Minnesota elementary schools. This is likely due to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 90.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Nearby schools, such as Randolph Heights Elementary, Groveland Park Elementary, and Hamline Elementary School, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to Four Seasons Elementary, despite serving student populations with lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and more racial diversity. The persistent challenges at Four Seasons Elementary highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for 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.
