Pre-K - 5th Grade Building

Summary:

The Pre-K - 5th Grade Building in Clinton, Minnesota, is an elementary school serving 131 students in the Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley school district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and the state of Minnesota in academic measures, particularly in Math, Reading, and Science.

The school's key strengths include its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates that exceed the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall Math proficiency rate was 59.42%, compared to 45.66% for the district and 45.47% for the state. The school's female and male students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% and top 30% of Minnesota elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's White students have a lower ranking, suggesting a need to address any achievement gaps. The Pre-K - 5th Grade Building has maintained a consistent high performance, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio that may contribute to its academic success.

Interestingly, the Pre-K - 5th Grade Building outperforms the nearby Lismore Colony Elementary and Big Stone Colony Elementary schools, which are also part of the Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley district. This suggests that the Pre-K - 5th Grade Building may have more effective teaching practices or resources that contribute to its higher performance. Additionally, despite having a significant percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has maintained strong academic performance, indicating that it is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
