Summary:
The city of Montrose, Minnesota is home to a single public elementary school, Montrose Elementary School of Innov, which serves students from grades K-5. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, its academic performance on standardized tests lags behind the district and state averages.
Montrose Elementary School of Innov has a diverse student population, with 84.05% White, 4.56% African American, 7.12% Hispanic, 1.71% Asian, and smaller percentages of Native American and Pacific Islander students. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 48.43% indicates a significant portion of the student body comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in math (46.2%), reading (52.66%), and science (28.07%) all fall short of the Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Schools district and state averages.
While Montrose Elementary School of Innov has some positive attributes, such as its low student-teacher ratio, its overall academic performance and declining statewide ranking suggest the school may be an underperformer in the region. The district and school leadership should consider strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of math and science proficiency, to better serve the diverse student population and address the economic challenges faced by many families in the community.
