Badger Public School District

Summary:

The Badger Public School District in Minnesota consists of two schools: Badger Elementary and Badger Secondary. While Badger Secondary is a standout performer, ranking 131 out of 450 Minnesota high schools, Badger Elementary appears to be struggling compared to state benchmarks.

Badger Secondary boasts a strong 84.2% 4-year graduation rate and a low 4.4% dropout rate. The school also outperforms the district and state averages on several MCA-III test score metrics, including 10th grade reading proficiency and end-of-course science proficiency. In contrast, Badger Elementary lags the state averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels.

The data suggests a potential disconnect in the quality of education between the two school levels within the district. Badger Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 58.33% compared to 51.96% at Badger Secondary, which may indicate a greater concentration of economically disadvantaged students at the elementary level. This could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. The district as a whole has an opportunity to focus on improving student outcomes, particularly in the area of math proficiency.
