0%: Not a single student proficient in math at 19 Minnesota schools

[teamgreen02]

Wellstone International High in downtown Minneapolis spends $28,199 per student and 0 of the 130 students were proficient at grade level in math.  More money isn't the answer to our problems in education.

In 19 public schools across the state, not a single student could do grade-level math during the 2021-2022 school year, according to an American Experiment analysis of state assessment data.

Zero students at six traditional public schools, two online public schools, and 11 public charter schools demonstrated proficiency on the math Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) spring 2022. Additionally, zero students at one of the traditional public schools also could not read at grade level. Half of the traditional public schools with 0 percent proficiency are in the Minneapolis Public School district.

Among elementary schools in the Minneapolis and St. Paul school districts, seven had zero 5th graders demonstrate math proficiency.

This 0 percent proficiency does not include area learning centers, alternative schools, or special education schools across the state, of which 56 had not a single student meeting grade-level expectations in math and six without any student demonstrating reading proficiency.

As of the start of the 2022 school year, fewer than half of Minnesota students statewide are proficient in math (44.6 percent), and just under 50 percent can’t read at grade level. On national assessments, Minnesota reading and math scores are the lowest they have been in 30 years.

Defenders of the current system will likely point to COVID as the driving reason, and while school closures certainly exacerbated learning loss, poor and declining student achievement showed itself way before the pandemic.

Failure to help students achieve rudimentary literacy and numeracy skills, despite all the dollars being spent, is unacceptable. State leaders should take a hard look at these schools and their operations, and hold them accountable, if not shut them down. That includes failing charter schools. Students being left behind deserve access to a learning environment that will meet their needs.

“In a sane world, schools that don’t and can’t teach a single student the most basic of skills would be shut down,” write Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner in their analysis of Illinois schools (which was the inspiration to look into Minnesota’s). “But here, they carry on…the system thrives while students wither.”

I was told by a few teachers they just push students on to the next grade pass of fail unless the parents object.

Sad really.

Some students are unreachable despite good educators best efforts.

When I hear Walz talk about fully funding education, like they aren't already the top line item on the budget, it makes me sick and to see $28k per pupil its nuts.

 

But looking at that list of schools most are either inner city, reservation, or some sort of alternative learning center.  So most likely kids/parents who don't value education or they've been kicked out of mainstream programs so that tells me they didn't give a shit before either.

 

Education is coming to a cross roads soon one would think.  Teachers get next to zero support from Admin or parents, they in turn kick any troublesome kid down to special education, who then writes the appropriate IEP for the kid, but Admin can't have too many IEP students from protected classes so they water down the report, and push them back to mainstream.  And the shit circle flows and flows.

Shut down all public schools. Better yet, don’t charge me for educating other people’s kids. You had em, you buy their education. If you don’t have the money, don’t have the kid.

This is a parental issue as much as it is a teacher issue.
