Summary

Floodwood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the small town of Floodwood, Minnesota. With an enrollment of 90 students, the school is part of the Floodwood Public School District, which is ranked 177 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Floodwood Elementary has shown strong academic performance, particularly in reading, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 51.92% of Floodwood Elementary students were proficient or better in MCA-III Reading, compared to 49.59% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.7 to 11.2 students per teacher, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's math proficiency rates have been more variable, sometimes falling below the state and district averages, indicating a need to strengthen math instruction and support.

Compared to the nearby South Ridge Elementary and Cromwell-Wright Elementary, Floodwood Elementary generally outperforms South Ridge Elementary but lags behind Cromwell-Wright Elementary in both math and reading proficiency. This suggests that Floodwood Elementary could benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing Cromwell-Wright Elementary to enhance its overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all its students.
