Summary:
The Ogilvie Public School District has only one elementary school, Ogilvie Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 257 students. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 649 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools in 2024-2025 (1 star rating) and 581 out of 881 in 2023-2024 (2 star rating).
Ogilvie Elementary's academic proficiency rates in both math and reading are significantly below the state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 31.06% in math and 37.12% in reading, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade math (33.33% proficient vs. 57.93% state average) and 3rd grade reading (13.33% proficient vs. 46.14% state average), suggesting a need for targeted interventions in the early grades.
Additionally, Ogilvie Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.64% in 2023-2024, indicating that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.6 is slightly lower than the state average, but this smaller class size does not appear to be translating into higher academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that Ogilvie Elementary is a struggling school that may need to implement comprehensive strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
