Ella Baker Elementary and Bryn Mawr Elementary stand out as having the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 90% and 86% respectively. These schools also have the lowest academic performance on standardized tests, highlighting the significant impact of economic disadvantage on educational outcomes.

The data also reveals challenges at the alternative and high school settings. River Bend Educational Center, an alternative school, performs relatively well on standardized tests, but Harrison Education Center, the high school in the area, has a concerning 4-year graduation rate of just 36.3% and a dropout rate of 18.1%. These findings suggest that students in these specialized settings face significant hurdles in achieving academic success. Overall, the data highlights the need to address socioeconomic disparities and provide targeted support to underperforming schools and student populations within the Minneapolis Public School District.
