Summary:
The Blue Earth Area School District has one elementary school, Blue Earth Area Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 491 students. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 16.1 to 1, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates on state assessments falling below the state averages in math, reading, and science.
Notably, Blue Earth Area Elementary's math proficiency rates, while stronger than the district average, are significantly below the state average across all grade levels. This is an area that may require additional focus and support. Additionally, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely faces socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic performance.
Despite these challenges, the school's stronger 3rd grade math proficiency could indicate areas of strength that could be leveraged to improve performance in other grades and subject areas. Furthermore, the relatively low student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for more individualized attention and support for students, potentially leading to improved outcomes in the future.
