Faribault Public School District


Summary:

The Faribault Public School District in Minnesota operates 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving a diverse student population. While the district faces significant challenges, with many schools underperforming on academic measures, there are also pockets of excellence, particularly at Lincoln Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, which demonstrate stronger performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages.

The data reveals substantial disparities in academic achievement between the elementary schools and the middle/high schools. The elementary schools, especially Lincoln and Roosevelt, excel in math and reading proficiency, while the high schools and middle schools, such as Faribault Senior High and Faribault Middle, struggle, with many ranking in the bottom quartile of Minnesota schools. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes, as the schools with the highest percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, like Jefferson Elementary and Faribault Area Learning Center, also tend to have the lowest academic proficiency rates.

Despite the district's challenges, the strong performance of Lincoln and Roosevelt Elementary schools indicates that there are opportunities for improvement and growth within the Faribault Public School District. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these schools could provide valuable insights and strategies for enhancing educational outcomes across the district, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
