Greenway Public School District

The Greenway Public School District in Minnesota operates three schools: Vandyke Elementary, Greenway Senior High, and Greenway Middle. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Vandyke Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in both Math and Reading proficiency. In contrast, Greenway Senior High and Greenway Middle generally have lower proficiency rates compared to the state averages, particularly in Math. However, Greenway Senior High boasts an impressive 96.8% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.5% dropout rate, which are both better than the state averages.

The relatively low student-teacher ratios across the district suggest that the schools are investing in smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning. However, the lower test scores at Greenway Senior High and Greenway Middle indicate that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or student engagement, may be impacting academic performance. Overall, the Greenway Public School District faces challenges related to student socioeconomic status and academic achievement, particularly at the middle and high school levels, while Vandyke Elementary stands out as a strong performer.
