The school is part of the Tri-City United School District, which is ranked 184 out of 463 school districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Le Center Pre K-8 has a predominantly White student population (59.91%), with a significant Hispanic population (34.91%) and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Academically, the school outperforms the district and state averages in math proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 8th grades, but is slightly below the state average in reading and science proficiency. The school has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 457th out of 858 Minnesota elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 303rd out of 881 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also improved from 2 to 3 stars.
Despite these academic strengths, Le Center Pre K-8 faces challenges related to the high percentage of students (52.59%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. By focusing on its academic performance strengths, addressing socioeconomic challenges, and fostering collaboration within the Tri-City United School District, Le Center Pre K-8 has the potential to continue its upward trajectory and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
