Summary:
The Lyle Public School District in Minnesota has a single elementary school, Lyle Elementary, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. With an enrollment of 122 students, Lyle Elementary has a diverse student population, with 74.59% White, 17.21% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. However, the school faces challenges, with a high free/reduced lunch rate of 59.02%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Lyle Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) in both math and reading. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 38.64% in math and 40.91% in reading, compared to the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. This trend has persisted over the past three school years, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.64% to 38.64% in math and 23.08% to 40.91% in reading.
Despite the academic challenges, Lyle Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which is lower than the state average. This suggests that the school may have opportunities to provide more personalized attention and targeted interventions for struggling students. However, addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as through data-driven instructional strategies, professional development for teachers, or targeted support programs, will be crucial in improving student outcomes and ensuring the success of the school within the Lyle Public School District.
