Middle Schools in Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted

The Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted area has a single public middle school, Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Middle, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 399 students. The school has maintained a consistent 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, ranking between 170th and 201st out of over 500 Minnesota middle schools.

While the school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science, has been consistently below the state averages, the school's socioeconomic factors, such as the 32.58% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to these challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.2 for the 2023-2024 school year suggests a need for additional resources and support to address the academic performance gaps and meet the needs of the student population.

Overall, Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted has a single middle school that has maintained a stable performance over the past few years, but faces challenges in academic achievement that may be linked to the socioeconomic factors of the student population. Continued efforts to improve student outcomes and provide targeted support could be beneficial for the school and the community it serves.
