Summary:
Jordan Public School District serves roughly 1,848 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–4), one middle (5–8), and one high school (9–12) — in the Jordan area of Minnesota, and the district overall ranks 124th of 458 in the state, in the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, outperforming state averages in math (47.9% vs. 44.9%), reading (50.9% vs. 48.6%), and science (30.9% vs. 25.5%).
Jordan Middle is the strongest school in the district: 5 stars, 53rd of 546 middle schools, 90th percentile, up from 86th the year before, with reading (58.3%) well above both district and state and math (49.7%) also ahead of both. Grades 6–8 post large advantages over state in reading and math, while the 5th grade falls below state in reading and science. Jordan High School earned 4 stars (74th percentile) with a 90.7% graduation rate and a 0.8% dropout rate, far better than the state's 4.2%, plus strong 10th-grade reading (51.8% vs. 42.5%) and end-of-course science (39.7% vs. 35.0%); its 11th-grade math (33.8%) is only 1.5 points below the same-grade state figure.
Jordan Elementary is the district's main concern: 2 stars, 550th of 869, or the 37th percentile, down from the 62nd and 47th percentiles in the two prior years. Its all-grade math (52.4%) is above the state's all-grade figure, but 3rd- and 4th-grade math trail same-grade state results, and reading, at 37.1% overall, is the largest weakness, with 3rd-grade reading 12.3 points below state. Comparing each school at the same grade level, rather than by overall averages, gives the fairest picture of performance across the Jordan Public School District.
