Summary:
The Melrose Public School District in Minnesota has only one middle school, Melrose Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively large student population of 334, its academic performance appears to be below the district and state averages, with declining rankings and proficiency rates on standardized tests.
Melrose Middle's student body is predominantly White (70.66%) with a significant Hispanic population (28.14%). However, the school has a high percentage of students (44.01%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, which are further exacerbated by a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26.4, higher than the recommended range for effective learning.
Overall, the data suggests that Melrose Middle is not a standout school within the Melrose Public School District or the state of Minnesota. The school's declining performance, underperformance on standardized tests, and potential socioeconomic and classroom environment challenges indicate that the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve the academic outcomes for students at Melrose Middle.
