Summary:
The Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Schools district in Minnesota consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district's performance is generally around the state average, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
The top-performing elementary schools in the district are Hanover Elementary, which ranks 76th out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, and Northwinds Elementary, which ranks 200th and has a 4-star rating. These schools have excellent proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, as well as relatively low free/reduced lunch rates. The district's middle school, Buffalo Community Middle, also stands out with strong academic performance and a 4-star rating.
In contrast, the district's alternative high school, Phoenix Learning Center, struggles with significantly lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher dropout rates compared to the other high school, Buffalo Senior High. The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, play a significant role in student achievement across the district.
