Bryn Mawr Elementary

Summary:

Bryn Mawr Elementary is a public elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 365 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a majority African American student population, consistently low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Bryn Mawr Elementary stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways. It has a much higher percentage of African American students (49.86%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 22.83% to 95.46% African American. The school also consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science that are significantly lower than the state and Minneapolis Public School District averages. Additionally, Bryn Mawr has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.48% to 86.3%, much higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 22.37% to 98.19%.

Despite these challenges, Bryn Mawr Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 11 students per teacher, could be a potential strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, this alone does not seem to be enough to overcome the school's other issues. Addressing the racial disparities, persistent low performance, and socioeconomic factors will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to provide the necessary support and resources for the students and community served by Bryn Mawr Elementary.

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.
