Summary

Norman County East Elementary is a public elementary school in Twin Valley, Minnesota, serving grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 115 students. The school is part of the Norman County East School District, which is ranked 372 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Norman County East Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, typically in the 500-700 range out of around 850-880 schools. The school's performance on MCA-III tests is generally below the state averages in both math and reading across all grade levels. Compared to nearby schools like Fertile-Beltrami Elementary, Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary, and Ada-Borup-West Elementary, Norman County East Elementary lags behind in proficiency rates and overall rankings.

The school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 9.8 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, this small ratio has not translated to stronger academic performance, as the school faces significant challenges in student achievement. Addressing these challenges, particularly the high percentage of students from low-income families, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Norman County East Elementary.
