Summary:
The Mahnomen Public School District in Minnesota has only one elementary school, Mahnomen Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools over the past few years, indicating significant challenges in student achievement.
Mahnomen Elementary's test scores in both math and reading are significantly below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.2% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 45.21%. In reading, the school's proficiency rate was 23.46%, compared to the state average of 49.59%. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with 85.58% of students receiving this assistance in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a potential strength. However, this alone does not appear to be enough to overcome the school's broader academic challenges. Overall, the data indicates that Mahnomen Elementary is a low-performing school that faces significant obstacles in improving student outcomes, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help address these issues.
