Summary:
The Browns Valley Public School District in Minnesota has only one elementary school, Browns Valley Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuating proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state averages.
Browns Valley Elementary's performance on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments has been inconsistent. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were below the state averages in both Math (50% vs. 45.21%) and Reading (35% vs. 49.59%). However, in the previous year, the school's proficiency rates were above the state average in Math (55% vs. 45.47%) but still below in Reading (50% vs. 49.85%). The school's statewide ranking has also varied, ranging from 420 out of 881 schools in 2023-2024 to 586 out of 872 schools in 2024-2025.
The school faces some demographic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (55.81% in 2023-2024) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant socioeconomic needs. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13:1 is lower than the state average, which may be a strength in providing more individualized attention for students. Overall, the data suggests that Browns Valley Elementary is facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, and further support and interventions may be necessary to help the school better serve its students.
