Summary:
The Montevideo Public School District in Minnesota is home to two elementary schools, Ramsey Elementary and Sanford Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the same district, they exhibit notable differences in their student demographics, academic performance, and socioeconomic factors.
Ramsey Elementary has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and multi-racial students compared to Sanford Elementary School. However, Ramsey Elementary also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to Ramsey Elementary's lower statewide ranking, as it has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools.
In contrast, Sanford Elementary School has a higher percentage of white students and a slightly lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, Sanford Elementary outperforms the Montevideo Public School District and the state of Minnesota in both math and reading proficiency for all grades, 3rd grade, and 4th grade. This consistent academic performance has earned Sanford Elementary a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a middle-performing school within the state.
