Lewiston-Altura Public School District


Summary:

The Lewiston-Altura Public School District in Minnesota consists of two schools: Lewiston-Altura Secondary (grades 6-12) and Lewiston-Altura Elementary (grades PK-5). While both schools have a predominantly white student population, the data reveals a stark performance difference between the two, with the elementary school consistently outperforming the secondary school on state assessments and maintaining a much higher state-wide ranking.

Lewiston-Altura Elementary is the standout school in the district, ranking 230 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school has consistently maintained a high ranking, placing 81st out of 858 Minnesota elementary schools in 2021-2022 with a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating. Lewiston-Altura Elementary outperforms the district and state averages on MCA-III test scores across math, reading, and science for all grade levels, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade math where the school's proficiency rates are over 20 percentage points higher than the state.

In contrast, Lewiston-Altura Secondary lags behind the state averages in MCA-III math, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. The secondary school's state-wide ranking has also dropped from 196 out of 472 in 2021-2022 to 246 out of 480 in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in performance over time. The higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school (47%) compared to the secondary school (37.57%) and the lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary level (10.8) may be contributing factors to the performance differences between the two schools.
