Menno Elementary - 02

Summary:

Menno Elementary - 02 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the small town of Menno, South Dakota. With a student population of 82 and a student-teacher ratio of 8.3, this school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics.

One of the key differentiators of Menno Elementary - 02 is its racial makeup, with 97.56% of students identifying as White, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Despite this homogeneity, the school has performed exceptionally well on the Smarter Balanced Assessments, with 65.22% of students proficient or better in mathematics, far surpassing the Menno School District (27.54%) and the state average (41.86%). Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 23.17%, lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools.

Menno Elementary - 02 has maintained a consistent performance over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 64 and 118 out of around 200 South Dakota elementary schools. This stability is noteworthy, especially when compared to the smaller student populations and lower test scores of nearby schools like Jamesville Colony Elementary - 03 and Maxwell Colony Elementary - 04. While the lack of racial diversity in the student population is an area that could be explored further, Menno Elementary - 02 appears to be providing a robust educational experience for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
