Summary:
The Norman County East School District contains a single elementary school, Norman County East Elementary, serving students in grades K-6. The school's performance on state assessments has been consistently lower than the Minnesota state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.67% to 54.55% across different grade levels and subject areas in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 40.10% to 57.09%.
Norman County East Elementary's overall proficiency rates in Math (33.96%) and Reading (37.04%) for all grades in 2024-2025 were significantly lower than the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 575 out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 729 out of 881 in 2023-2024 and 628 out of 872 in 2024-2025. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.91% in 2023-2024), which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
Despite the small student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the data suggests that Norman County East Elementary is an underperforming school compared to state averages, and the declining performance over the past few years is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
