Article #4
Poor Performance of Grades K-5 and 6-8 Schools
Under the Supervision of
Associate Superintendent Ron Wagner
The general pattern through academic years
2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 in the elementary schools of the Minneapolis
Public Schools (MPS) has been the prevalence of low rates of academic
proficiency and failure to make any truly notable progress, even from such a
low starting point; in many demographic categories, there has actually
been significant decline. Both K-5 and K-8 schools are considered
elementary schools in the Minneapolis Public Schools.
Associate Superintendents Ron Wagner and Brian
Zambreno have oversight duties for MPS elementary schools.
Wagner has been an MPS teacher and administrator for many years and must bear
responsibility for dismal academic results, particularly at elementary schools
with high percentages of African American, Hispanic, and American Indian
students and students on free or reduced price lunch.
Associate Superintendent Brian Zambreno is new
to MPS and thus cannot be held responsible for academic results during 2014-2018.
But Zambreno has a similar professional preparatory background to those of associate
superintendents Carla Steinbach-Huther (middle schools and high schools) and
Ron Wagner. We most likely will see similarly abysmal results for the
schools that are now his responsibility as of the 2018-2019 academic
year; if that be true, he will also be culpable for the inadequate
academic program in the schools over which he has administrative oversight.
Given below are the academic proficiency rates
of students at elementary schools during 2014-2018 for which Associate
Superintendent Ron Wagner has responsibility. In Article #5, like data
will be presented pertinent to schools for which Associate Superintendent Brian
Zambreno now has responsibility.

Schools, for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, & 2018
