Summary:
The Southland Public School District in Minnesota contains one elementary school, Southland Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average 3rd grade math proficiency, it generally underperforms compared to district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grades.
Southland Elementary's overall math proficiency rate of 42.72% is lower than the district average of 37.7% and the state average of 45.21%. However, the school's reading proficiency rate of 52.43% is higher than the district average of 52.51% and the state average of 49.59%. The school's science proficiency rate of 37.04% is also lower than the district and state averages. Southland Elementary is ranked 475 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
The data suggests that Southland Elementary faces some challenges, particularly in math proficiency, which diminishes as students progress through the grades. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 48.98%, may indicate that it faces socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic achievement. However, the Southland Public School District as a whole is ranked in the middle of Minnesota districts, suggesting that district-level factors may also play a role in the school's performance.
