Data showed that Ramsey County welcomed 80,249 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 2.3% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 182 schools in the county, American Indian Magnet School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 174.
According to the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Minnesota's fourth graders scored 241 in math, just above the national average of 237. Their reading score of 216 was on par with the U.S. average, but shows a slight decline over recent years. Eighth graders scored 284 in math and 264 in reading, both above the national averages.
However, despite these results, both grade levels remain below pre-pandemic levels in math and reading.
As of 2024, according to Public School Review, the student-to-teacher ratio in Minnesota's public schools stands at 1:16, slightly worse than the national average of 1:15. This is part of a larger framework within Minnesota's educational system, which is the 10th largest in the United States, accommodating over 869,000 students across 2,709 public schools.
