Summary:
Quantum STEAM Academy Charter in Saint Paul, Minnesota operates a single elementary school, Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 117 students. The school has a unique student population, as it is the only elementary school in the district and is composed entirely of African American students.
Despite being a public charter school, Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from School Digger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages, particularly in 4th grade. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty community, with 99.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population.
The lack of diversity and the school's consistently low performance suggest that the educational model or resources may not be effectively meeting the needs of the students. The disparities in test scores and the high poverty rates also point to potential opportunity gaps that need to be addressed to ensure all students receive a high-quality education. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve educational outcomes and provide equitable opportunities for the students of Quantum STEAM Academy Elementary within the Quantum STEAM Academy Charter district.
