Legacy of Dr Josie R Johnson Montes

Summary:

Legacy of Dr Josie R Johnson Montes is a public charter elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota that serves 113 students from kindergarten to 6th grade, with a predominantly African American student population.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools on standardized tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 11.11% of students were proficient or better in Math, and 20.37% were proficient or better in Reading, significantly lower than the state averages. The school has received 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating its persistent academic challenges.

These academic struggles may be linked to the school's high percentage of African American students (70.8%) and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (77.88% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), which are higher rates than the nearby Northport Elementary, Sojourner Truth Academy, Prodeo Columbia Heights Primary, and other schools in the Robbinsdale Public School District, Sojourner Truth Academy, Prodeo Academy, and other nearby districts. Addressing these racial and socioeconomic disparities will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Legacy of Dr Josie R Johnson Montes.

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.
