East African Culture and Learning

Summary:

East African Culture and Learning is an elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Saint Paul Public Schools district.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in both Math and Reading. In 2023-2024, only 12.5% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 25.88% for the district and 45.47% for the state. In Reading, 17.19% of students were proficient or better, compared to 34.14% for the district and 49.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for African American, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Minnesota elementary schools for these groups. Nearby Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo and Benjamin E Mays Magnet schools significantly outperform East African Culture and Learning on academic assessments.

The academic challenges faced by East African Culture and Learning appear to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as several nearby schools serving high percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, such as Maxfield Elementary and Paul & Sheila Wellstone Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance. The nearby charter schools, Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary and St. Paul City Primary School, have mixed academic performance, highlighting the variability in outcomes among charter schools.

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.
