Summary:

The Detroit Lakes Public School District in Minnesota has one middle school, Detroit Lakes Middle, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a current 3-star rating and a ranking of 209 out of 519 Minnesota middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Detroit Lakes Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both Math and Reading proficiency rates. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate is 36.09%, compared to the district's 48.41% and the state's 45.21%. Similarly, the school's Reading proficiency rate is 48.27%, compared to the district's 51.69% and the state's 49.59%. This suggests the school may need to implement targeted interventions or strategies to improve student academic achievement.

The school's relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 43.25% for the 2023-2024 school year indicates it serves a population with a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This demographic factor could be a consideration when analyzing the school's performance and identifying potential areas for support or intervention.
