Summary:
The Le Sueur-Henderson School District has only one elementary school, Park Elementary, which serves students in the area. Park Elementary has maintained a relatively consistent performance on the MCA-III assessments, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading generally falling within the district and state averages.
Park Elementary's performance has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall Math proficiency (52.07%) was lower than the district average (57.47%) but higher than the state average (45.21%), while its overall Reading proficiency (47.34%) was lower than the district average (58.23%) but higher than the state average (49.59%). The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 292nd out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 572nd out of 820 in 2011-2012.
Despite the mixed performance, Park Elementary serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 48.51% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which may contribute to its ability to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.
