Summary:
The Littlefork-Big Falls School District has one elementary school, Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 174 students. While this school is the only option for elementary education in the district, its performance has been declining in recent years, ranking 584 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary struggles to meet state averages, with proficiency rates below the state in both Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments. The school's performance on the MCA-III Science assessment was slightly better, but still below the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (47.13%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance gaps.
Another area of concern is the lack of diversity at Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary, with the student population being predominantly White (88.51%) and very low percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse world. Overall, the data suggests that Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary faces several challenges that will require targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for its students.
