Summary:
The AFSA Elementary is the sole elementary school within the Afsa High School district in Minnesota. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and faces significant academic challenges, with test scores well below the state averages in both math and reading.
AFSA Elementary's performance on the MCA-III standardized tests has been consistently low, with proficiency rates ranging from just 11.11% to 26.67% in math and 10.53% to 37.04% in reading across different grade levels, compared to state averages of 45.21% in math and 49.59% in reading. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, dropping from 583 out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 781 out of 872 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school serves a high proportion of students from low-income families, with 65.03% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's struggles, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, the overall data suggests that AFSA Elementary is a struggling school that needs to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the significant achievement gaps and improve student outcomes.
