Summary

Renville County West Elementary is a public elementary school in Renville, Minnesota, serving 332 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Renville County West Schools district, which is ranked 239 out of 446 districts in the state.

Academically, Renville County West Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 5 years, with proficiency rates in both math and reading below the state average across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 32.73% in math and 38.89% in reading, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. Nearby schools like Reede Gray Elementary and Bert Raney Elementary generally outperform Renville County West Elementary in both subjects.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.43% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic outcomes. However, the school's performance for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance, suggesting that targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to address the specific needs of the low-income student population and improve the school's academic performance.
