Summary:
The Jackson County Central School District in Minnesota has only one middle school, Jackson County Central Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in 6th and 7th grade Math but lower proficiency rates in Reading and Science compared to district and state averages.
Jackson County Central Middle's overall Math proficiency rate of 44.59% is slightly above the district average of 48.08% but below the state average of 45.21%. In contrast, the school's Reading proficiency rate of 41.96% and Science proficiency rate of 25.4% are both below the district and state averages. The school is ranked 206 out of 519 Minnesota middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as the school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.41%, indicating a significant proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is slightly higher than the recommended range, which could impact the level of personalized attention and support available to students. The school's leadership and the district may need to focus on addressing these areas to improve overall academic performance and provide a more equitable learning environment for all students.
