Summary:
The Ulen-Hitterdal Public School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary and Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Based on the available data, Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary appears to be the standout school in the district. It has a higher statewide ranking, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 114 out of 450 Minnesota high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. In comparison, Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary is ranked 459 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools for the same year, with a 2-star rating. The secondary school also outperforms the district and state averages in several MCA-III test areas, including 10th grade reading and 8th grade math.
However, the elementary school struggles in certain grade levels, particularly in 5th and 6th grade math, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a greater proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school could be a positive factor, but it does not seem to be translating to stronger academic performance across all grade levels.
