Summary:
Blooming Prairie Public Schools has a single middle school, Blooming Prairie Intermediate School, serving grades 5-6. The school performs relatively well in reading and science compared to district and state averages, but faces challenges in math proficiency. With nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students than the state as a whole.
Blooming Prairie Intermediate School's reading proficiency rates are notably higher than the state averages, particularly in 5th grade where the school's rate is over 6 percentage points above the Minnesota average. However, the school's math proficiency rates trail the state averages, especially in 5th grade where the school's rate is over 10 percentage points below the Minnesota average. In science, the school's proficiency rate of 47.83% is significantly higher than both the Blooming Prairie Public Schools district-wide (44.90%) and statewide (39.56%) averages.
With a student-teacher ratio of 18.3 to 1, Blooming Prairie Intermediate School has smaller class sizes than the typical school, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 46.48% suggests it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population compared to the state as a whole.
