Summary:
The Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn is the sole elementary school located in the Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn district in Bemidji, Minnesota. This public charter school serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 125 students. While the school has a racially diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation, its academic performance is consistently below the state average.
On the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), the school's proficiency rates in math and reading range from 0% to 50%, compared to the state averages of 40.09% to 58.79% in math and 44.58% to 57.45% in reading. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 on the SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that the Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, particularly in the core subjects.
The school's high percentage of students (60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing to the academic performance issues. However, the school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 10:1 could be a potential strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that the Aurora Waasakone Community of Learn is a struggling school that requires further investigation and strategies for improvement to better serve its diverse student population.
