Summary:
The Bertha-Hewitt Public School District in Minnesota is home to one elementary school, Bertha Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite the district's overall ranking of 266 out of 446 districts in the state, Bertha Elementary stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Minnesota elementary schools over the past three years.
Bertha Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with math and reading proficiency rates that exceed the district and state averages, especially in the lower grade levels. In 3rd and 6th grades, the school's math proficiency ranges from 36.59% to 81.4%, while reading proficiency ranges from 28.57% to 62.86%. Additionally, Bertha Elementary's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 56.25% is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes.
However, the data also suggests that Bertha Elementary faces some challenges, with 53.42% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. While the school's performance remains strong overall, its 5th and 6th-grade math and reading proficiency rates suggest room for improvement, especially compared to the lower grades. The Bertha-Hewitt Public School District as a whole may also benefit from targeted support and initiatives to enhance the academic achievement of all its students.
