Akin Road Elementary

Summary:

Akin Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmington, Minnesota, serving 523 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Farmington Public School District. While the school has a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, its overall academic performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages.

However, Akin Road Elementary's Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and Special Education students perform better relative to their peers statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 14.7 over the past three years. Despite these positive factors, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 446th out of 840 Minnesota elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 568th out of 881 in 2023-2024, even as it maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Farmington Elementary, Riverview Elementary, and Meadowview Elementary, Akin Road Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, it outperforms schools in the Lakeville Area Schools and Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan districts. The increasing free and reduced lunch rates at Akin Road Elementary, from 15.96% in 2021-2022 to 30.4% in 2022-2023, may indicate growing economic challenges for the school's families, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance.

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.
