Middle Schools in Martin County West School District

Summary:

The Martin County West School District in Minnesota has a single middle school, Martin County West Junior High, which serves grades 7-8 with an enrollment of 88 students.

Martin County West Junior High has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, from 187 out of 519 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 301 out of 529 in 2022-2023. The school excels in math proficiency, consistently outperforming the district and state averages, but struggles in reading and science proficiency compared to state-level metrics. With over 40% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population with higher levels of economic disadvantage, which can impact academic performance.

Further analysis and comparison to similar schools in the region could provide additional insights to help the school and district identify areas for improvement and better support their students.
