Summary:
Glacial Hills Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the Glacial Hills Elementary district in Starbuck, Minnesota. This small school serves 93 students from predominantly White (94.62%) and economically disadvantaged (58.06% receive free/reduced lunch) backgrounds.
Academically, Glacial Hills Elementary has mixed performance compared to state averages. While the school excels in science proficiency (75% vs. 39.56% state average), its math (32.65% vs. 45.47%) and reading (46.94% vs. 49.85%) proficiency rates lag behind the Minnesota state averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 is significantly better than the state average, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
Overall, Glacial Hills Elementary faces both strengths and challenges. The school's low student-teacher ratio and strong science performance are positive attributes, but the declining math and reading proficiency, as well as the lack of racial/ethnic diversity, suggest opportunities for further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success.
