Summary:
The Redwood Area School District in Minnesota consists of three schools: Reede Gray Elementary, Redwood Valley Senior High, and Redwood Valley Middle. The district serves students from elementary through high school, with a focus on providing quality education in the Redwood area.
Reede Gray Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 30% of Minnesota elementary schools. The school's students excel in MCA-III Math and Reading tests, often outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Redwood Valley Senior High has a strong graduation rate of 88% but lags behind in MCA-III Math proficiency compared to the district and state.
The district's schools also have a higher percentage of Native American students, particularly at Reede Gray Elementary where 23.39% of the student population identifies as such. This highlights the need for culturally responsive teaching practices and support systems to address the unique needs of this student population. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Reede Gray Elementary and Redwood Valley Middle, indicate the socioeconomic challenges faced by a significant portion of the student body.
