Summary:
The Kelliher Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, Kelliher Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's diverse student population includes a significant Native American representation, with 44.63% of students identifying as such. However, the school faces challenges, as its academic performance consistently falls below the state average in math, reading, and science proficiency.
Kelliher Elementary's math proficiency rates range from 18.18% in 3rd grade to 68.18% in 5th grade, while reading proficiency rates vary from 4.55% in 3rd grade to 50% in 5th grade. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 27.27% is also significantly lower than the state average of 45.02%. These low test scores suggest that the school may be struggling to effectively educate its students, despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2.
The high percentage of students (76.27%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Kelliher Elementary indicates a significant level of economic need within the school's community. This, combined with the school's racial diversity and consistently low academic performance, suggests that targeted interventions and additional support may be necessary to help the school improve and better serve its students.
