Cuyuna Range Elementary's performance on MCA-III Math and Reading assessments is generally below the state average, with some grade-level exceptions. However, the school's performance on MCA-III Science assessments is stronger, with a proficiency rate of 55.7% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 45.02%. The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 52.83% in 2023-2024, which may contribute to its academic challenges. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.8 is lower than the state average, potentially indicating smaller class sizes that could help support student learning.
Overall, the analysis suggests that Cuyuna Range Elementary is facing some inconsistencies in its academic performance, with strengths in certain subject areas but struggles in others. The school's socioeconomic factors and smaller class sizes may be playing a role in its performance, but the data indicates that the school is working to maintain a consistent level of academic achievement for its students.
