Summary:
The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Schools district in Minnesota is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. The schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 31 to 569. While the district faces challenges with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a large population of economically disadvantaged students, some schools stand out for their strong academic performance.
Gideon Pond Elementary is the top-performing school in the district, with 63.76% of students proficient or better in math and 59.46% in reading on the MCA-III assessments. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Rahn Elementary is another high-performing school, with 47.4% proficiency in math and 43.35% in reading, as well as a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 63.91%. In contrast, some schools like Sky Oaks Elementary and Vista View Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates, highlighting the need to address disparities within the district.
The data also reveals that the largest school, William Byrne Elementary, performs above the district average, with 49.63% proficient or better in math and 47.78% in reading. The district's early education programs, such as the Early Education Program & Services, may contribute to the stronger performance of some elementary schools and could be an area for continued investment and expansion to benefit all students in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Schools district.
