Little Falls Community Schools

Summary:

The Little Falls Community Schools district in Minnesota consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in the district, Lindbergh Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on MCA-III tests, with high proficiency rates in math and reading. Knight Elementary also performs well academically and has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district. In contrast, the alternative high school, Little Falls Continuing Education, struggles with significantly lower graduation rates and academic proficiency compared to the main high school.

The data reveals significant disparities within the district, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the middle and high schools. This suggests the need for the district to address systemic issues or inequities that may be contributing to these disparities. Additionally, the high rates of economic disadvantage across the district highlight the importance of supporting students from low-income backgrounds to improve overall academic outcomes.
