HOWE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

HOWE ELEMENTARY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 217 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, HOWE ELEMENTARY has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

HOWE ELEMENTARY, located in the Standish neighborhood of Minneapolis, serves as a community-focused public school within the Minneapolis Public Schools district. The school is known for its commitment to fostering an inclusive environment that supports the academic, social, and emotional growth of its students. It typically offers a standard K-5 curriculum with an emphasis on foundational literacy and numeracy, while often integrating programs designed to support diverse learners and foster a sense of neighborhood belonging.

Situated on 43rd Avenue South, the school functions as a local hub, often benefiting from the active engagement of the surrounding residential community. HOWE ELEMENTARY strives to prepare its students for middle school success by balancing rigorous core instruction with enrichment opportunities. As with many schools in the district, it places a strong focus on equity and personalized learning, aiming to ensure that every student has the resources necessary to thrive in an increasingly diverse educational landscape.
