Summary:
The city of Cold Spring, Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, Cold Spring Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While there are no other elementary schools within the city limits, the school is part of the Rocori Public School District, which oversees several schools in the surrounding area.
Cold Spring Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle of Minnesota elementary schools, with a performance rating of 2 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale for the past three school years. The school's math proficiency outperforms the district and state averages across all grade levels, with the highest proficiency in 3rd grade at 56.84%. However, the school lags behind in reading proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades, and has significantly lower science proficiency for 5th-grade students compared to the district and state averages.
The school has a student-teacher ratio of 15.2, slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 ratio, and a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 35.82%, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. These demographic factors may contribute to the school's performance challenges and suggest a need for targeted support programs and equitable resource allocation to address any disparities and help all students succeed.
