Renville County West Schools

Summary:

The Renville County West Schools district in Minnesota consists of two schools: Renville County West Elementary and Renville County West Senior High. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the two schools, Renville County West Senior High appears to be the stronger performer, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a lower dropout rate of 4.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The high school was also ranked 101 out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing above average. In contrast, Renville County West Elementary has consistently low statewide rankings, placing in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools in the past three school years, and its math and reading proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Renville County West Elementary at 13.7 and Renville County West Senior High at 14.5 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, this factor alone does not seem to be translating into higher academic performance, particularly at the elementary school level, which also has a high free and reduced lunch rate of 58.43%.
