Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn


Summary:

The Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn district in Bemidji, Minnesota. With a diverse student population of 125 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low rankings and academic performance compared to state averages.

The school's student population is quite diverse, with a significant representation of Native American and minority students. However, the school's academic performance is a cause for concern, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science falling well below the state averages. The school's math proficiency rates range from 0% to 25%, while reading proficiency rates range from 12.5% to 50%, compared to the Minnesota averages of 40-60% and 45-57%, respectively. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are also below the state average, with 5th-grade students performing slightly better but 8th-grade students performing worse.

Despite the school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which is lower than the state average, this has not translated into stronger academic outcomes for the students. The high percentage of students (60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Overall, the data indicates that the Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population, and further investigation into the specific factors contributing to these challenges could provide valuable insights to help improve the educational outcomes for the students.
