Summary:
The Melrose Public School District has one elementary school, Melrose Elementary, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in the city of Melrose, Minnesota, the school has a diverse student population with a majority of White students (63.91%) and a significant Hispanic population (34.39%).
Academically, Melrose Elementary performs well, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments exceeding the district and state averages in math (57.52%) and science (47.22%), though slightly below the state average in reading (43.81%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 suggests a focus on smaller class sizes and individualized attention. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50.32%) indicates the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population.
While Melrose Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, the school's overall performance appears to be strong within the Melrose Public School District. The school's diverse student body, academic strengths, and small class sizes make it an attractive option for families in the area, though there may be room for improvement in reading proficiency compared to the state average.
