New Ulm Public School District


Summary:

The New Ulm Public School District in Minnesota operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

New Ulm High School is the district's shining star, consistently ranked as one of the top high schools in Minnesota. With a 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a low dropout rate of 4.4%, the school significantly outperforms the state average on MCA-III proficiency tests in math, reading, and science. New Ulm Middle School also stands out, ranking in the top quarter of Minnesota middle schools and demonstrating strong performance on MCA-III tests, particularly in 7th grade math.

While the district's high school and middle school excel, the two elementary schools, Jefferson Elementary and Washington Learning Center, show more variation in their performance. Jefferson Elementary has a higher ranking and better test scores than Washington Learning Center, which has struggled to maintain its performance over the years. This suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing the needs of its lower-performing elementary schools to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
