Summary

Badger Elementary is a public elementary school located in Badger, Minnesota, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Badger Public School District, which is ranked 205 out of 446 districts in the state.

Badger Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a ranking between 402 and 545 out of 869-872 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the MCA-III assessments in Math and Reading has been below the state average, with only a few grade levels exceeding the state proficiency rates. However, the school's 6th-grade students have outperformed the state average in Reading proficiency for the past few years. Badger Elementary has a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.1 to 11.5 students per teacher over the past three school years.

Compared to nearby Roseau Elementary and Greenbush Elementary, Badger Elementary generally underperforms in both Math and Reading proficiency, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be contributing to the differences in academic performance between these schools.
