Cannon River Stem School

Cannon River Stem School is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in Faribault, Minnesota. Based on the available data, this school appears to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low rankings, test scores well below state levels, and a high poverty rate among its diverse student population.

The Cannon River Stem School has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years, indicating it is among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Minnesota. Its proficiency rates in math, reading, and science are all significantly below the state averages, with gaps ranging from 12 to 25 percentage points. This suggests the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students.

With over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Cannon River Stem School serves a high-poverty community, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, which includes a significant Hispanic and Native American representation, does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, raising questions about the school's ability to effectively support and educate its diverse learners.
