Summary:

St. Francis Area Schools is a 12-school district serving roughly 4,101 K-12 students across five comprehensive schools and seven alternative, online, and transition programs. St. Francis Area Schools is ranked 154 of 458 districts in Minnesota with 3 stars, and its overall results sit near the state average: math 43.9% vs. 44.9%, reading 49.3% vs. 48.6%, and science 25.8% vs. 25.5%, with an 89.0% graduation rate above the state's 84.9%.

Among the five comprehensive schools, which enroll 92.4% of students, St. Francis Elementary is the clear academic standout — the only comprehensive school above district and state averages in all three subjects (math 60.5%, reading 58.3%, science 30.5%). East Bethel Elementary School is the most improved, gaining in every subject and rising from the 55th to the 66th percentile. St. Francis High posts excellent outcomes (95.7% graduation, 1.1% dropout) and strong science at 42.0%, far above district and state, but reading is a concern at 32.4%, roughly 16 points below both. St. Francis Middle is strong in reading (50.3%) yet below average in math (35.0%) and science (20.3%), and has the district's highest student/teacher ratio at 21.6. Cedar Creek Elementary School has above-average math (48.3%) but has slipped from the 60th to the 48th percentile and from 3 stars to 2.

The remaining schools serve very small, specialized populations with much higher free/reduced lunch rates, from 37.93% to 81.25%. Many of their test results are suppressed by the state to protect student privacy, so they cannot be compared fairly to the comprehensive schools. District-wide averages largely reflect the five comprehensive campuses.
