Maxfield Elementary School

What Maxfield Elementary School does

Maxfield Elementary School is a public elementary school operated by Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS), serving approximately 320-350 students in Pre-K through 5th grade at a single site at 380 Victoria Street North in St. Paul's historic Rondo neighborhood. Founded in 1890, the school delivers a standard core academic curriculum across all elementary grades augmented by specialist classes in Music, Physical Education, and Science, plus wraparound services including English Language Learners support, a Federal Setting 3 special education program, Reading Partners literacy tutoring, AmeriCorps Scholar Coaches, school-based mental health (Kofi Services), on-site dental services, and after-school programming through the Extended Day for Learning and YMCA School Success Program.

The technology stack is entirely third-party and district-issued: a 1:1 iPad program runs on Apple devices with Clever single sign-on, Seesaw (PK-5) and Schoology for learning management, Infinite Campus as the student information system, Securly Home for at-home device controls, Versatrans MyStop for bus tracking, and Google Meet for virtual learning. No proprietary technology is developed in-house; Maxfield's differentiation sits in its community partnerships, including a Collaborative Learning School designation with the University of St. Thomas School of Education (since 2023-24) and long-running relationships with the Cultural Wellness Center, Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood, Wilder Foundation, YMCA, and Reading Partners.

The business model is government-funded public education: there is no tuition, no commercial pricing, and no private ownership. Revenue flows from state per-pupil aid, federal Title I and categorical program funding, and SPPS district allocations. The school is in active construction of a Community Schoolyard slated to open in fall 2025, one of the state's first such facilities. Headcount per the staff directory is approximately 67 roles including teachers, paraprofessionals, specialists, health staff, and front office personnel, and leadership is provided by Principal Dr. Leslie Hitchens.
