Summary:

Intermediate School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Worthington Public School District in Worthington, MN. The school has 662 students, with a diverse racial makeup and a high percentage (80.82%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low socioeconomic status of the student population.

Academically, Intermediate School's performance is significantly below the state averages in both math and reading, with only 29.86% of students proficient or better in math and 31.39% proficient or better in reading, compared to state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing relatively better than their peers at the school, but still lagging behind the state averages. Overall, Intermediate School ranks 714th out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 20% of the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Prairie Elementary in the same district and Heron Lake-Okabena Elementary in a different district, Intermediate School's performance is generally lower. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's diverse racial composition may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance, and the data suggests opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the achievement gaps between different student subgroups.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Intermediate School

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2023	662	50.1	13.2	80.8
2024	653	49.1	13.2	79.2

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
