Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School District

The Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School District in Minnesota operates two schools, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Elementary and Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Secondary, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings.

The data shows that both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science assessments compared to the state averages. For example, the elementary school's overall math proficiency rate was 21.91% in 2023-2024, while the state average was 45.47%. Similarly, the secondary school's 11th grade math proficiency rate was 22.06%, compared to the state average of 34.99%. Both schools also have low rankings, with the elementary school ranked 767 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and the secondary school ranked 348 out of 480 Minnesota high schools.

Additionally, the schools serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (75.4% at the elementary school and 64.44% at the secondary school) and diverse racial makeup (majority Hispanic at the elementary school and a more even split between White and Hispanic at the secondary school). These factors may be contributing to the schools' underperformance and suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges facing the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School District.
