Summary

Overland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rochester, Minnesota, serving 555 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Rochester Public School District, which is ranked 197 out of 446 districts in the state.

Overland Elementary's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, who outperform their peers at the state level. The school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is also strong, ranking in the top 30% and top 15% of Minnesota elementary schools, respectively. Overland Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 50% in recent years, which is higher than the district average, suggesting the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population.

Compared to nearby schools, Overland Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of Gibbs Elementary and Elton Hills Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in Math and Reading. However, Overland performs better than Gage Elementary, which has significantly lower proficiency rates across all grades and subjects. The school's efforts to maintain a low student-teacher ratio of 14 in 2023-2024, down from 27.7 in 2022-2023, may be a strategy to address the challenges faced by its economically disadvantaged student population.
