Summary:
The city of Pine Island, Minnesota is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through secondary grades: Pine Island Elementary, Pine Island Middle, and Pine Island Secondary. These schools are part of the Pine Island Public School District.
Among the three schools, Pine Island Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 25% of elementary schools in Minnesota and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's math and reading proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, Pine Island Elementary maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.5, lower than the other two schools in the district.
In contrast, Pine Island Middle and Pine Island Secondary have more mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the state average in math and reading, while others fall below. Science proficiency is an area of concern across all three schools, with scores below the state average. The district also faces challenges in terms of racial diversity, as the student populations are predominantly white, ranging from 88% to 93% of the student body.
