Grand Meadow Public School District

The Grand Meadow Public School District in Minnesota operates three schools: Grand Meadow Elementary, Grand Meadow Senior High, and Grand Meadow Middle. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with the elementary school being the clear academic standout, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Grand Meadow Elementary boasts impressive test scores, with 76% of students proficient or better in Math and 62.67% in Reading, significantly outpacing the district and state. The school also maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide rank between 142-188 out of over 800 Minnesota elementary schools. In contrast, the performance of Grand Meadow Senior High and Grand Meadow Middle lags behind, with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Math.

While the district as a whole has a relatively homogeneous student population, the high school and middle school show slightly more racial diversity. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary significantly across the schools, with the middle school having a notably higher ratio than the elementary and high school. Ensuring equitable resource allocation and class sizes could be an area for the district to address to improve performance in the upper grades and promote a more inclusive learning environment.
