Summary:

The St. Francis Area Schools district in Minnesota consists of 12 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 181 out of 446 in Minnesota and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. St. Francis Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong test scores in Math and Reading. Cedar Creek Elementary School is another high-performing elementary school, with impressive proficiency rates, particularly in the upper grades. In contrast, Saints Academy, an alternative high school, has the lowest performance in the district, ranking 431 out of 450 high schools in the state and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The district's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some schools and grade levels performing well above the state average, while others struggle to meet proficiency targets. The alternative schools in the district serve a significantly higher proportion of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 45%. This suggests the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges these students face. Overall, the data reveals both areas of strength and areas in need of improvement within the St. Francis Area Schools district.
