Middle Schools in GFW Public Schools

The GFW Public Schools district in Minnesota has one middle school, GFW Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, particularly in math and science, is below the state average.

GFW Middle School's math proficiency rates range from 15.38% to 40.91% across different grade levels, significantly lower than the state average of 40.09% to 44.14%. The school's reading proficiency rates are closer to the state average, but its science proficiency rates are also below the state average, ranging from 21.15% to 50% compared to the state average of 30.34% to 45.02%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 26.7 is higher than the state average, and a high percentage of its students (58.82%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While GFW Middle School has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic representation, its overall academic performance and ranking suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, and support for students, particularly in math and science. The school's declining ranking, from 345 out of 529 middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year to 252 out of 545 in the 2023-2024 school year, also indicates that the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other middle schools in the state.
