Lean reported-resource profile

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Saint Louis Park has more public-school enrollment than 50% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Saint Louis Park's average Resource Investment Index falls in the lower portion of the 4,487-city comparison set. The index is a resource snapshot, not an academic grade: it reflects the federal staffing, counselor, gifted-program, and attendance fields available for local campuses. The most useful next step is to open the individual schools below and identify which component is pulling each score down, because the same city average can hide very different campus-level constraints.

A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary

Saint Louis Park's list includes 4 elementary, 1 middle, and 2 high-school campuses, plus 3 combined-grade records. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Saint Louis Park lists only 10 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 3 to 1,397 students, a 466-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

City enrollment: Top 50%
School count: Top 41%
Resource Index average: 30th percentile
Teacher staffing: 29th percentile

St. Louis Park Senior High accounts for 31.2% of all Saint Louis Park public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Saint Louis Park-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Saint Louis Park school enrollment varies 466× across entities

Saint Louis Park school enrollment ranges from 3 students (lowest) to 1,397 students (highest), a spread of 1,394 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Saint Louis Park student-teacher ratio is 17.5:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Saint Louis Park is typically wider than the Saint Louis Park-aggregate figure suggests.
