Summary:
The city of Le Roy, Minnesota is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Leroy Elementary, Leroy Secondary, and the CARDS Program, an alternative school. The schools in this area show a mix of academic performance, with Leroy Elementary performing above the district and state averages in 4th grade math, but struggling in 3rd and 5th grade math. In contrast, Leroy Secondary consistently underperformed compared to state averages, particularly in 11th grade math proficiency.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics, with Leroy Elementary having a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 48.82%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The CARDS Program had an even higher free/reduced lunch rate of 75%, suggesting the students it serves may have additional social and emotional needs that require targeted support.
The differences in student-teacher ratios between the elementary and secondary schools, with Leroy Elementary having a lower ratio of 11.4 compared to 17.1 at Leroy Secondary, indicate that resources may not be evenly distributed across the district. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be key focus areas for the Leroy-Ostrander Public Schools and the Southern Mn Education Consortium to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Le Roy community.
