While the district as a whole performs well, there are some notable differences between the schools. The high school and middle school have outperformed the state average in MCA-III proficiency rates, particularly in Math and Reading. The elementary schools, such as Taylors Falls Elementary, have more varied performance, with some schools like Lakeside Elementary excelling and others, like Taylors Falls Elementary, performing below the district average. The district also has a relatively homogeneous racial makeup, with a predominantly white student population, which may suggest a need to explore ways to increase diversity and representation within the schools.
