Summary:
There is only one elementary school in the Minnesota New Country School district - Minnesota New Country Elementary. This school has consistently underperformed compared to other elementary schools across Minnesota, ranking in the bottom 12% of schools statewide for the 2024-2025 school year.
Minnesota New Country Elementary has struggled academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state averages in both math and reading across all grade levels. For example, the school's 5th grade math proficiency rate was just 23.53% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 42.94%. Additionally, the school is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, the school has not been able to translate this into stronger academic outcomes for its students.
Nearly half (46.15%) of the students at Minnesota New Country Elementary receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a high-need population. This, combined with the school's consistently low rankings and test scores, indicates there may be significant equity and opportunity gaps that the school has struggled to address. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the specific challenges facing this school and develop strategies for improvement.
