Summary:
The Fairmont Area School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Fairmont Elementary School and Fairmont Junior/Senior High School. The district as a whole is ranked 275 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in overall district performance.
Fairmont Junior/Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the state average. However, both schools perform below the state averages on math and reading proficiency assessments, particularly in 11th grade math at Fairmont Junior/Senior High School. The schools also have a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Fairmont Elementary School having a significantly higher rate of 59.45% compared to 46.92% at Fairmont Junior/Senior High School.
The data suggests that the Fairmont Area School District could benefit from targeted interventions and support to help students achieve proficiency levels closer to the state averages, particularly in math. Additionally, the difference in student-teacher ratios between the elementary and secondary schools may be a factor to consider in terms of resource allocation and instructional support.
