Summary:
The city of Lyle, Minnesota has only one elementary school, Lyle Elementary, which serves students from the Lyle Public School District. Based on the available data, Lyle Elementary is performing significantly below the state average in academic proficiency, ranking in the bottom 20% of Minnesota elementary schools.
Lyle Elementary's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments are consistently lower than the state averages across all grades and years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 27.5%, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and its Reading proficiency rate was 30%, compared to the state average of 49.59%. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state.
The data also reveals that Lyle Elementary serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 53.85% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, the academic struggles suggest that the school may face significant challenges in supporting the needs of its student population. Further investigation into the specific factors contributing to Lyle Elementary's performance and potential strategies for improvement would be warranted to better understand the educational landscape in this area.
