Article #6 in a Series >>>>> Academic Performance of Schools Supervised by Associate Superintendent Brian Zambreno, Academic Years Ending in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018

This article is the sixth in a series focused on multi-year academic performance of all schools in the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), categorized according to supervision by the pertinent associate superintendent.  This article presents the academic performance of students at schools supervised by Associate Superintendent Brian Zambreno.

 

Remember that MPS associate superintendents such as Zambreno serve as mentors to site principals and along with those leaders at the school level have responsibility for academic results at the schools under their supervision.  Over the last half decade the number of associate superintendents has gone from eight, to six, to four, and now to three.  During the 2017-2018 academic year the associate superintendents included Laura Cavender, Lucilla Davila, Carla Steinbach, and Ron Wagner;  for the current academic year of 2018-2019, Cavender has been reassigned as principal of Bryn Mawr K-5 elementary school and Davis has been reassigned as principal of Folwell K-8 elementary school.   Steinbach and Wagner remain as associate superintendents, the former with responsibility for all middle schools and high schools, the latter with responsibility for approximately half of all MPS K-5 and K-8 elementary schools;  Brian Zambreno came to the district from Richfield and has responsibility for the remainder of the K-5 and K-8 schools. 

 

The following tabular presentation gives multi-year academic results for the nineteen K-5 and K-8 schools under the supervision of Brian Zambreno. 

 

Brian Zambreno is new to then Minneapolis Public Schools in this academic year 2018-2019.  He bears no responsibility for past academic records, those for academic years ending in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018;   but he will be responsible for implementation of programmatic initiatives and, along with building principals whom he mentors, for academic proficiency levels attained by students at schools under his supervision for the current  2018-2019 academic year.
