Best Public Schools in Blue Earth, MN


Summary:

The city of Blue Earth, Minnesota is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Blue Earth Area Elementary, Blue Earth Area Secondary, and Blue Earth Area Middle. While the schools share some similarities, such as a majority white student population and high rates of economic disadvantage, they also exhibit distinct differences in academic performance, graduation rates, and statewide rankings.

Among the standout schools, Blue Earth Area Middle School stands out with the smallest enrollment, lowest student-teacher ratio, and highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. However, this school also has the lowest proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Blue Earth Area Secondary (the high school) boasts the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate, but still lags behind state averages in Math and Science proficiency.

The data reveals a concerning trend of declining academic performance across the Blue Earth Area School District, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. This, coupled with the high rates of economic disadvantage, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges facing these schools and improve student outcomes.
