Summary:
The Laporte Public School District in Minnesota has only one elementary school, Laporte Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently performed below the state average in academic proficiency, ranking 711 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Laporte Elementary's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments have been significantly lower than the state averages for the past few school years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 32.5%, compared to the Laporte Public School District's 25.41% and the Minnesota state average of 45.21%. Similarly, the school's Reading proficiency rate was 28.75%, while the district average was 34.24% and the state average was 49.59%. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
Additionally, Laporte Elementary serves a high-poverty population, with 68.75% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's small size, with only 176 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, does not appear to be enough to overcome the challenges faced by the school's students. Despite the resources available, the school has not been able to effectively address the educational needs of its population, resulting in consistently low academic performance.
