Summary:
The Lake Park Audubon School District in Minnesota is home to two schools: Lake Park Audubon Secondary and Lake Park Audubon Elementary. While the elementary school outperforms the secondary school on most academic metrics, the secondary school has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 147th in 2021-2022 to 338th in 2022-2023 before rebounding to 230th in 2023-2024.
The elementary school stands out for its stronger academic performance, outperforming the district and state averages on most MCA-III proficiency metrics, particularly in math and reading. In contrast, the secondary school struggles with math proficiency, scoring well below the state average in several grade levels. The secondary school's reading proficiency is closer to the state average, but still lags behind in some grade levels.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with the secondary school having 87.05% white students and the elementary school having 84.12% white students. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to examine. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.68%) compared to the secondary school (36.64%), indicating a higher level of economic need in the elementary school population.
