Summary:
The city of Bayport, Minnesota is home to two schools: Andersen Elementary, a traditional public elementary school, and Mn Correctional Facility-Stillwater, a small high school located within a correctional facility. While Andersen Elementary serves 335 students, the correctional facility school has just 7 students, reflecting the vastly different educational environments in Bayport.
Andersen Elementary has a mixed academic performance, with math proficiency rates below the district and state averages, but reading and science proficiency closer to or above the averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 is relatively low, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention. However, the school's overall ranking of 515 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest room for improvement.
In contrast, the Mn Correctional Facility-Stillwater has a significantly different student demographic, with a higher percentage of African American and Native American students compared to Andersen Elementary. This disparity highlights broader societal and systemic issues that may be contributing to the overrepresentation of certain racial groups in the correctional system. Unfortunately, the lack of available data on the correctional facility's academic performance, resources, and support services makes it difficult to fully analyze and compare the two schools in Bayport.
