Summary:
The Leroy-Ostrander Public Schools district in Minnesota operates two schools: Leroy Elementary (grades PK-6) and Leroy Secondary (grades 6-12). Both schools have struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Minnesota schools and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.
Leroy Elementary has only 38.89% of students proficient or better in math and reading, well below the state averages. The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 48.82%, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Leroy Secondary has even lower proficiency rates, with only 17.81% in math and 27.78% in reading, and a dropout rate of 4.4%.
While Leroy Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4, this has not translated into better academic outcomes. Both schools face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and the district as a whole may need to explore strategies to address the underlying factors contributing to these struggles.
