Summary:
The Tri-County School District in Minnesota has one elementary school, Karlstad Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average math proficiency rates, it also struggles in other areas, particularly in reading proficiency.
Karlstad Elementary's overall math proficiency rate for all grades in 2024-2025 was 50%, which is higher than the district (48.89%) and state (45.21%) averages. However, the school's reading proficiency rate for all grades in 2024-2025 was 41.3%, which is lower than the district (47.62%) and state (49.59%) averages. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent over the past few years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 421 and 555 out of 872-881 Minnesota elementary schools.
Karlstad Elementary has a relatively small student population of 93 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 53.76% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year. The student-to-teacher ratio at the school is 11.1, which is lower than the state average. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success.
