Best Public Schools in Lyle, MN

The city of Lyle, Minnesota is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Lyle Elementary, Lyle Middle, and Lyle High School. These schools are part of the Lyle Public School District and have faced significant academic challenges, with all three schools consistently underperforming compared to state averages in both math and reading proficiency.

Lyle Elementary is the highest-performing of the three schools, but it is still ranked in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools and struggles with low proficiency rates in math and reading. However, the school's 4th-grade math and reading scores are higher than the district and state averages, suggesting potential strengths in the upper elementary grades. Lyle Middle School and Lyle High School are both ranked in the bottom 10% and 35% of their respective school types in Minnesota, with particularly low math proficiency rates.

Across all three schools, there are high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.85% at Lyle Elementary to 56.84% at Lyle Middle. The student-teacher ratios also vary, with Lyle Elementary having a relatively low ratio of 11.6, while Lyle Middle and Lyle High School have higher ratios of 20.6 and 8.6, respectively. These factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the schools in the Lyle Public School District.
