Summary:
The Butterfield-Odin Public Schools district in Minnesota operates two schools: Butterfield Secondary High School and Butterfield Elementary School. Both schools are ranked in the bottom third of their respective school types in the state, indicating systemic challenges within the district.
Butterfield Secondary High School struggles with low test scores, a high dropout rate, and a relatively low graduation rate, despite serving a high-need population with nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Butterfield Elementary School has a more mixed academic performance, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages in Math and Reading, while others lag behind. However, the elementary school serves an even higher-need population, with over 74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests that the Butterfield-Odin Public Schools district as a whole faces significant challenges in supporting student achievement and addressing the needs of its predominantly low-income student population. Targeted strategies and interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes across both schools and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
