Summary:
The East Central School District in Minnesota has one elementary school, East Central Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it also underperforms compared to district and state averages in several key areas.
East Central Elementary's performance on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's overall proficiency rates in Math and Reading for the 2024-2025 school year are 45.45% and 44.72%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 408 out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 500 out of 872 in 2024-2025.
The data also reveals that East Central Elementary has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 55.24% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1 is lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor. Overall, the analysis suggests that while East Central Elementary may face some challenges, there are opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support.
