Summary:
The Nashwauk-Keewatin School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Keewatin-Nashwauk Elementary School and Nashwauk Secondary. While the district serves a relatively small population, the data suggests that both schools are struggling to meet academic standards, with below-average performance in key areas like math and reading proficiency.
Keewatin-Nashwauk Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in 5th grade science, where students scored significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's overall ranking of 582 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate that there is room for improvement. The school's high free and reduced lunch rate of over 50% suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by its students.
Nashwauk Secondary faces even greater challenges, with a ranking of 337 out of 480 Minnesota high schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's math proficiency, particularly in 11th grade, is significantly below the state average, while its reading proficiency is slightly better. Additionally, the school has a concerning dropout rate of 9.3%, which may have long-term implications for the community.
