Moose Lake Public School District

The Moose Lake Public School District consists of two schools: Moose Lake Elementary and Moose Lake Secondary. While Moose Lake Secondary is a standout high-performing school, Moose Lake Elementary has more average performance, indicating potential equity concerns and inconsistent outcomes across the district.

Moose Lake Secondary is the clear standout, ranking 42nd out of 480 Minnesota high schools and earning a 5-star rating. The school boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate, 0% dropout rate, and strong test scores that outperform state and district averages. In contrast, Moose Lake Elementary has a more average 2-star rating, ranking 442nd out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools.

While Moose Lake Elementary has some bright spots, such as high 5th grade science proficiency, it generally performs at or below state and district averages.

The district may benefit from investigating the root causes of these performance differences and exploring opportunities for collaboration and shared learning between the two schools.
