Summary:
The city of Gaylord, Minnesota has only one public elementary school serving the area - Sibley East-Gaylord Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 484 students. As the sole school in Gaylord, there are no direct comparisons to be made, but the school's performance can be analyzed in relation to district and state averages.
Sibley East-Gaylord Elementary is part of the Sibley East School District, which is ranked 216 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school itself has been ranked between 476-491 out of 845-881 Minnesota elementary schools over the past 3 years, earning a 2-star rating. Its math and reading proficiency rates are mixed compared to state averages, but its 5th grade science proficiency is notably higher. The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of almost 50%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Overall, Sibley East-Gaylord Elementary appears to be a fairly typical public elementary school, with some strengths in 5th grade science but overall performance that is below average compared to other schools in the state. The high free/reduced lunch rate suggests the school may face challenges in serving a population with greater economic needs, but its low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
