Summary:
The Onamia Public School District in Minnesota is home to two elementary schools, Onamia Primary School and Onamia Elementary School, both serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools share similarities in their student demographics and socioeconomic challenges, they face significant academic performance issues, with consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to the state averages.
Both Onamia Primary School and Onamia Elementary School have a diverse student population, with over 37% of students identifying as Native American. However, the schools also serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the Onamia Public School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement.
Despite the district's efforts, the academic performance of students in both Onamia Primary School and Onamia Elementary School remains well below the state averages in Math, Reading, and Science proficiency. The highest proficiency rate is in 3rd grade Math at Onamia Elementary School, with only 38.89% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 59.1%. This suggests that the Onamia Public School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and there is a clear need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
