Summary:
There is only one middle school in the Red Wing Public School District in Minnesota: Twin Bluff School, which serves grades 5 through 7 and enrolls 502 students on Twin Bluff Road in Red Wing. Because it is the district's only middle-level school, its results are the district's middle-grade results. The district as a whole sits well below the state average, ranking 364th of 458 Minnesota districts (21st percentile, 1 star).
Twin Bluff is a mid-pack school statewide whose standing has improved each of the past three years. Its state rank percentile rose from 46 to 48 to 50, and its star rating moved from 2 stars up to 3. The school beats district averages in every subject — math by 2.0 points, reading by 5.6, and science by 4.2 — so it lifts overall district performance. Against state averages, however, it trails in all three: math 35.5% proficient versus 44.9% statewide, reading 40.1% versus 48.6%, and science 19.0% versus 25.5%. Its gaps to the state are smaller than the district's gaps in every subject, which matters because the state is the more meaningful yardstick.
The year-over-year picture is mixed. Math climbed 5.5 points while the state barely moved — a real gain — but reading fell 4.5 points and science 4.8 points, drops larger than the state's, widening both gaps. Science is the weakest subject at every level and is assessed only in grade 5, so its result rests on a single grade's students. Grade 6 math (42.4%) is the one bright spot that beats the state (39.5%). The weakest points are grade 5 math (28.8%, 13.1 points below the state) and grade 7 reading (32.3%, 11.2 points below). Roughly three in ten students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 15.9 to 1.
