Bertha-Hewitt Public School District

The Bertha-Hewitt Public School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Bertha Elementary and Bertha Secondary. The district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools.

Bertha Elementary stands out as a strong performer, ranking 342nd out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in math proficiency for grades 3-6. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Bertha Secondary underperformed the state average in math proficiency for 11th grade, but had a higher reading proficiency rate for 10th grade compared to the district and state.

Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the Bertha-Hewitt Public School District have a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. Bertha Elementary appears to be a standout performer, particularly in mathematics, while Bertha Secondary has room for improvement in certain academic areas. The district's socioeconomic challenges may be a factor in the schools' performance, and further analysis would be needed to identify targeted interventions or support.
