Chisholm Elementary

Chisholm Elementary is a public middle school located in Chisholm, Minnesota, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 127 students. As the only middle school in the immediate area, Chisholm Elementary is part of the Chisholm Public School District.

While Chisholm Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the state averages in Math, Reading, and Science, the school's proficiency rates are mixed when compared to the district. The school performs better in some grades and subjects, but worse in others. Notably, the 4th-grade proficiency rates in Math and Reading are closer to the state averages, suggesting stronger performance in the earlier grades. However, the school's overall trend shows a decline in academic achievement over the past few years, which is concerning and indicates the need for targeted interventions.

Another key finding is that Chisholm Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.86% to 58.09% over the past three school years. This suggests that the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which can present unique challenges and require specialized support. On a positive note, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 12.5, providing more individualized attention for students. As the school works to address its academic challenges, it will be important to leverage this advantage to improve student outcomes.
