Summary:
The Windom Public School District in Minnesota has only one middle school, Windom Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data shows that Windom Middle's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Windom Middle's overall Math proficiency rate was 22.71% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 45.21%. Similarly, the school's overall Reading proficiency rate was 44.01%, compared to the state average of 49.59%. The school's statewide ranking has also been declining, from 293 out of 529 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 379 out of 519 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school's performance may be struggling compared to other middle schools in Minnesota.
One potential factor contributing to Windom Middle's lower academic performance is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.42% in the 2023-2024 school year. This indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact student learning and achievement. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.9 could be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students, potentially leading to improvements in academic outcomes.
