Summary

Farmington Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmington, Minnesota, serving 545 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 246 out of 446 districts in the state.

While Farmington Elementary was once a high-performing school, ranking 91 out of 853 Minnesota elementary schools in 2016-2017, its academic performance has declined in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages across all grades. When compared to nearby higher-performing schools like East Lake Elementary and Lake Marion Elementary, Farmington Elementary lags significantly behind in academic achievement.

The school also faces challenges with achievement gaps among different student subgroups. While Farmington Elementary ranks highly for its support of English Language Learners, it struggles with the performance of White students, Hispanic students, students with special needs, and those from low-income backgrounds. Addressing these disparities through targeted interventions and collaboration with successful neighboring schools could help Farmington Elementary improve its overall educational outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
