Summary:

The Kenyon-Wanamingo School District in Minnesota has one middle school, Kenyon-Wanamingo Middle, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide rankings have fluctuated between 172nd and 262nd out of over 500 Minnesota middle schools in recent years, indicating it is not among the top-performing schools in the state.

Kenyon-Wanamingo Middle has an enrollment of 216 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18.7, slightly higher than the state average. The school's math proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessment are below the state average, ranging from 25% for 5th grade to 45.31% for 8th grade in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's reading proficiency rates are closer to or even above the state average, suggesting a relative strength in language arts instruction.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (33.8%) may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting the school's academic performance. Additionally, the school's math proficiency rates have declined over the past two years, from 37.6% for all grades in 2023-2024 to 36.32% in 2024-2025, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
