Summary:
The Sauk Centre Public School District in Minnesota has only one middle school, Sauk Centre Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across Math, Reading, and Science.
In the 2024-2025 school year, Sauk Centre Middle School's proficiency rates in Math (32.59%) and Reading (53.33%) for all grades are lower than the district (42.78% and 42.05%) and state (45.21% and 49.59%) averages. The school's 5th and 6th grade Math and Reading proficiency rates also lag behind the district and state averages, with the 6th grade Math proficiency (26.23%) being particularly low compared to the district (26.23%) and state (40.1%) averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall proficiency rates in Math (29.69%), Reading (48.44%), and Science (42.37%) are all lower than the district and state averages.
Additionally, Sauk Centre Middle School had a higher-than-average free and reduced lunch rate of 43.94% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 in the 2023-2024 school year could be an advantage, but it does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the test score data.
