Summary:
The Badger Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, Badger Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with over 57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Badger Elementary has shown inconsistent performance, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average while others fall below. The school's 3rd-grade Math and Reading proficiency rates, as well as its 5th-grade Reading proficiency rate, are above the state averages, suggesting potential strengths in the early grades. However, the school's overall rankings and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate room for improvement, particularly in the upper elementary grades and across subject areas.
Despite the challenges faced by Badger Elementary, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 may suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. The district and school leadership may need to focus on addressing the socioeconomic factors impacting the school's performance and leveraging the strengths observed in the early grades to drive overall academic improvement.
