Summary:
The city of Roseau, Minnesota is served by two public schools, Roseau Elementary and Roseau Secondary, which are part of the Roseau Public School District. While both schools have some areas of strength, they also face challenges in academic performance and addressing socioeconomic disparities.
Roseau Elementary serves 625 students in grades PK-6 and has a predominantly white student population. The school performs above the state average in science proficiency but struggles to meet state averages in math and reading. In contrast, Roseau Secondary serves 527 students in grades 7-12 and has a higher student-teacher ratio, which may impact the quality of instruction. While the high school has a strong 91.1% graduation rate, its academic performance in math, reading, and science is below the state average.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Roseau Elementary having a significantly higher rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (34.4%) compared to Roseau Secondary (21.25%). This suggests that the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic performance gap between the two schools.
