Summary:
The Minneapolis Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the North Ottawa County region of Kansas. Serving grades PK-6 with 327 students, the school has seen its statewide ranking drop from 302 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 388 out of 653 in 2023-2024, suggesting its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.
Academically, Minneapolis Elementary has mixed results, with its ELA and math proficiency rates slightly above the North Ottawa County average but below the Kansas state averages. However, the school excels in science, with a proficiency rate of 47.81% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the North Ottawa County and Kansas state averages. The school's high poverty rate, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a factor in its academic performance, which is further challenged by relatively low per-student spending of $11,589 in 2018-2019.
Overall, while Minneapolis Elementary is the sole elementary school in the North Ottawa County region, its declining statewide ranking, mixed academic results, and high poverty rates suggest the need for targeted interventions and increased funding to improve student outcomes at the school.
