Summary:

The Elk River Public School District operates 26 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is highly ranked, placing 33rd out of 446 districts in Minnesota and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Rogers Senior High is the top-performing high school, ranking 10th out of 450 Minnesota high schools and earning a 5-star rating. It boasts impressive test scores, with 66.43% of 11th graders proficient or better in MCA-III Math and 68.35% proficient or better in MCA-III Reading. The district's top-performing elementary schools are Twin Lakes Elementary and Hassan Elementary, both of which rank in the top 20 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools and receive 5-star ratings. At the middle school level, Rogers Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking 23rd out of 519 Minnesota middle schools and earning a 5-star rating.

While the district as a whole outperforms the state average in MCA-III Math and Reading proficiency, there are significant gaps in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. The data suggests a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. The district's alternative and online schools also struggle academically compared to the traditional brick-and-mortar schools. Overall, the Elk River Public School District appears to be a high-performing district, with several standout schools, but there is room for improvement in addressing equity and supporting the lower-performing schools and student populations.
