Fosston Public School District


Summary:

The Fosston Public School District in Minnesota is home to two standout schools: Magelssen Elementary and Fosston Secondary. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top half of their respective categories, with Magelssen Elementary earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and Fosston Secondary ranking in the top quarter of Minnesota high schools.

Magelssen Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency across multiple grade levels. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 may contribute to its success. Fosston Secondary also demonstrates strong academic achievement, with higher math and reading proficiency compared to the state, particularly in 11th grade. The school boasts an impressive 84.2% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average.

Despite the challenges posed by the district's high free and reduced lunch rates, both schools have maintained their academic excellence. This suggests that the Fosston Public School District is committed to providing quality education to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. The district's effective resource allocation, with smaller class sizes at the elementary level, may be a key factor in the schools' success.
