Summary:

The Lakes International Language Academy (LILA) district in Minnesota operates three schools: two elementary schools (LILA Lower School and LILA Kinder Center) and one high school (LILA Upper School). The district's focus on language immersion and international education appears to contribute to the success of its students, particularly at the high school level.

The standout school in the LILA district is the LILA Upper School, which has consistently ranked among the top 30-80 high schools in Minnesota. This high school boasts a 84.2% four-year graduation rate and a 4.4% dropout rate, both of which outperform the state averages. Academically, the LILA Upper School excels, with significantly higher proficiency rates in MCA-III Reading for 10th grade and MCA-III Math for 11th grade compared to the state.

In contrast, the elementary schools in the LILA district, LILA Lower School and LILA Kinder Center, struggle with lower proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade reading. This performance gap between the elementary and high school levels suggests that the district may need to examine its curriculum and instructional practices at the elementary level to better support student learning and ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes across all grade levels.
