Summary:
The Bagley Public School District operates two schools - Bagley Elementary and Bagley Secondary - serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both have consistently underperformed state averages on key metrics like standardized test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates.
Academically, Bagley Elementary and Bagley Secondary struggle, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments well below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Bagley Elementary's overall math proficiency rate was 34.39% compared to the state average of 45.21%, and Bagley Secondary's 11th-grade math proficiency rate was just 13.95% compared to 34.96% statewide.
Socioeconomic factors also appear to be a challenge for the district, with both schools having high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (over 58%) and relatively high student-teacher ratios, which could contribute to the academic difficulties. Additionally, Bagley Secondary has a lower-than-average four-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a higher-than-desirable dropout rate of 4.4%. Overall, the Bagley Public School District faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
