Summary:
The Badger Public School District in Minnesota has only one elementary school, Badger Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 3rd and 6th grade reading, it generally performs below the state averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grades.
Badger Elementary's overall math proficiency rate of 36.99% is significantly lower than the state average of 45.21%, and its reading proficiency rate of 45.21% is also below the state average of 49.59%. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 501 to 545 out of around 850-880 Minnesota elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 58.33% in the 2023-2024 school year, which may present unique challenges in terms of academic achievement.
Interestingly, Badger Elementary's performance varies significantly by grade level, with math proficiency rates ranging from a high of 53.33% in 3rd grade to a low of 11.11% in 5th grade. A similar pattern is observed in reading proficiency, with 6th graders performing much better than 3rd and 4th graders. Overall, the data suggests that Badger Public School District as a whole may be struggling, as Badger Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district's averages.
