Summary:
The city of Thief River Falls, Minnesota, is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a public magnet school). The data reveals that Challenger Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the Thief River Falls School District and the state of Minnesota in math and reading proficiency. Meanwhile, the two high schools, Lincoln Senior High and Northwest Area Learning Center, have relatively high 4-year graduation rates but also high dropout rates, indicating that while many students are able to graduate, a significant portion are not completing their high school education.
The data also reveals that Challenger Elementary and Franklin Middle have a high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by their free and reduced lunch rates. This suggests that the schools may need to allocate additional resources and support services to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
Overall, the Thief River Falls School District as a whole is ranked 238 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other districts in the state. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help the district improve its overall performance and better serve the needs of all students.
