Summary

Intermediate School is an elementary school located in Worthington, Minnesota, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 653 students. Despite its relatively small class sizes, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.

Intermediate School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments that are significantly lower than the state averages across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rate in Math for all grades was 29.76%, compared to the state average of 45.21%. The school's performance is also below the Worthington Public School District average, indicating that it is one of the lower-performing schools within the district. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools, Intermediate School appears to be an outlier. The Virtual Instruction by Excellence E school, which is also part of the Worthington Public School District, significantly outperforms Intermediate School in both Math and Reading proficiency rates. Furthermore, Heron Lake-Okabena Elementary and Fulda Elementary, which are located relatively close to Intermediate School, also have higher academic performance and higher rankings than Intermediate School.
