Summary:
The Alden-Conger Elementary is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Alden-Conger Public School District. While the district as a whole is ranked in the middle third of Minnesota districts, the elementary school has consistently been ranked in the bottom third of Minnesota elementary schools and maintains a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Alden-Conger Elementary's proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading have been below the state averages for all grades, with the exception of a higher 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate. The school's overall proficiency rates have remained relatively consistent over the past two school years, suggesting ongoing challenges in improving student performance. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 and the district's 3-star rating indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement and further analysis.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as 37.87% of Alden-Conger Elementary students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to help Alden-Conger Elementary improve its academic outcomes and better serve its students.
