Summary:
The Butterfield-Odin Public Schools district in Minnesota has only one elementary school, Butterfield Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with below-average performance on state assessments in math, reading, and science.
Butterfield Elementary's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments lag behind the state averages, with only 42.37% of students proficient in math and 35.59% proficient in reading in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in science, with only 6.67% of students proficient in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.56%. Despite a small student-teacher ratio of 8:1, the school faces significant challenges, with 74.76% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
Overall, the data suggests that Butterfield Elementary is underperforming compared to state averages and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of the community. The school's consistent ranking in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools and its below-average performance on state assessments indicate a need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instruction, and support systems to address the academic challenges faced by its students.
