Summary:

The city of Plummer, Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, Red Lake County Central Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 182 students. While the school's performance is generally below the state average, it is often on par with or slightly better than the overall Red Lake County Central Public School District.

Red Lake County Central Elementary is ranked 486 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on MCA-III Math and Reading assessments is mixed, with math proficiency below the state average across all grades, ranging from 24.32% in 6th grade to 68.18% in 3rd grade. Reading proficiency is closer to the state average, ranging from 27.27% in 3rd grade to 66.67% in 4th grade. Science proficiency for 5th grade is also below the state average at 33.33%.

The school faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with nearly half of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9 for the 2023-2024 school year could be a positive factor in addressing these challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Red Lake County Central Elementary has opportunities for targeted improvement efforts to enhance its academic performance and better serve the needs of its students.
