Summary

Neveln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Austin, Minnesota, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 352 students. The school is part of the Austin Public School District, which is ranked 399 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neveln Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools for the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the MCA-III assessments is significantly below the state averages in both math and reading, with only 37.04% of Neveln students proficient or better in math in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 45.21%. Neveln's performance is also lower than the Austin Public School District average, indicating that it is one of the lower-performing schools within the district. The school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16 students per teacher, compared to nearby Banfield Elementary (13 students per teacher) and Southgate Elementary (12.5 students per teacher).

While the overall student population at Neveln Elementary performs poorly, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students appear to be performing better than the overall student body. This suggests that the school may have some effective strategies or programs in place to support these specific student subgroups, which could potentially be leveraged to improve outcomes for the broader student population. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Neveln Elementary, at 71.31%, is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success.
