Original Research by School Decision on Early Ed Global
Early Ed Global is a pre-kindergarten special education program within the Saint Paul Public Schools system, located in the capital city of Saint Paul, Minnesota. The school serves only one grade band, pre-kindergarten, and is classified as a special education school. Its enrollment is very small, with all students in that single pre-kindergarten grade. The student body is composed of Asian, Black, and Hispanic children; no White students are enrolled, and no students identified as American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, or two or more races. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility and on students with disabilities or English learner status was not reported, so a parent would need to ask the school directly about those supports.
Because Early Ed Global serves only pre-kindergarten, there are no state assessment results to report. Minnesota does not administer standardized tests at that grade level, so academic performance data of the kind available for older grades simply does not exist here. The same applies to graduation rates and chronic absenteeism figures: the school does not serve high school students, so those measures are not applicable. The school’s type—special education—means it is designed to provide specialized instruction and related services to young children who have disabilities, though the specific disability categories or service models are not detailed in the available records.
Early Ed Global is part of Saint Paul Public Schools, a large urban district that has recently added new magnet options, including E-STEM Middle School and the East African Elementary Magnet, and renamed Ramsey Middle School to Hidden River Middle School. Those changes are district-wide and not directly tied to this pre-kindergarten program, but they give a sense of the district’s shifting school landscape.
Saint Paul itself is Minnesota’s capital and second-largest city, situated on the Mississippi River. It is home to the state capitol complex, numerous state government offices, and cultural institutions such as the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. The city is notably diverse, with a large Hmong community and significant Asian, Black, and Hispanic populations. Its park system has ranked highly nationally, and downtown features sports venues, historic mansions along Summit Avenue, and river bluffs. The housing market in the area shows moderate home values and rents, typical of the Twin Cities metro. For a family considering Early Ed Global, the surrounding city offers a dense urban environment with government, cultural, and recreational anchors.
In summary, Early Ed Global is a very small, pre-kindergarten-only special education program within Saint Paul Public Schools. Its academic profile is unmeasured because the grade it serves is not tested. Families considering this school would likely be those whose young children qualify for special education services and need a specialized early childhood setting. The school’s small size and targeted mission mean it is a distinct option, not comparable to typical elementary schools in the district. A parent should contact the school directly to learn about its specific programs, services, and how it supports children with disabilities in a pre-kindergarten environment.
