Xinxing Academy

Summary:

Xinxing Academy is a high-performing public elementary school in Hopkins, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With consistently strong academic achievement and a diverse student population, Xinxing Academy stands out as one of the top elementary schools in the state.

Academically, Xinxing Academy outshines its peers in the Hopkins Public School District and the state of Minnesota, with over 83% of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math and 69% in MCA-III Reading. The school's racial diversity is also noteworthy, with a student body that is 54.52% White, 3.68% African American, 9.03% Hispanic, 15.72% Asian, and 17.06% two or more races. In contrast, nearby schools like Eisenhower Elementary and Alice Smith Elementary have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that Xinxing Academy serves a more affluent population.

While Xinxing Academy's student-teacher ratio of 23.4 is higher than some nearby schools, the school's consistent high performance and diverse student population suggest that it is providing a quality education to its students. This raises questions about the school's ability to address the needs of students from lower-income families, but also highlights the potential for Xinxing Academy to serve as a model for effective teaching practices and equitable educational outcomes in the region.

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.

No support for students struggling in Chinese immersion. Admin states that they do not have any means of "testing" struggling students so they are not able to determine support needs early. They do not suggest outside tutors because "it is not a policy we support" but then they don't have the system of District support such as Minnetonka Chinese program has. Also, on average it is 27 - 1 teacher student ratio in kindergarten. Then, if other children drop out, the radio MAY get to 22 -1 if no other student come in from out of state or other programs. This program is specifically for middle of the road children. Excelling children need more than just Chinese and low performing children do not get the extra Chinese support. Close Quote

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.
