Summary:
The Lakes International Language Academy (LILA) district in Minnesota is home to two elementary schools: LILA Lower School and LILA Kinder Center. While both schools share a focus on language immersion, they exhibit some notable differences in their student populations and academic performance.
LILA Lower School is the larger of the two, with 581 students, compared to 127 students at LILA Kinder Center. LILA Lower School also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.1, while LILA Kinder Center has a higher ratio of 18.8. Academically, LILA Lower School performs slightly better than the Lakes International Language Academy district and the state of Minnesota in math and reading proficiency, though most grade levels still fall below 60% proficiency.
In terms of student demographics, both schools have a majority white student population, with LILA Lower School at 76.08% and LILA Kinder Center at 77.17%. The free and reduced lunch rates are relatively low for both schools, indicating a relatively affluent student population. However, the lack of historical ranking data for LILA Kinder Center makes it difficult to assess its performance compared to other Minnesota elementary schools. Overall, the LILA schools appear to be performing reasonably well, with room for improvement in raising proficiency levels across all grade levels and subjects.
