Nevis Public School District

The Nevis Public School District in Minnesota consists of two schools: Nevis Elementary and Nevis Secondary. The data shows that Nevis Elementary is the standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 3 years and significantly outperforming state averages in math, reading, and science proficiency. In contrast, Nevis Secondary, the district's high school, performs closer to state averages, though it still maintains a respectable ranking.

Key metrics highlight the differences between the two schools. Nevis Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.76%) compared to Nevis Secondary (50.38%), suggesting the elementary school may serve a more economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, Nevis Elementary maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is conducive to more individualized attention.

While both schools have a predominantly white student population, the data indicates that Nevis Elementary is the clear standout in the Nevis Public School District, providing a high-quality education and consistently outperforming state benchmarks. The district may want to explore ways to address potential achievement gaps at Nevis Secondary and promote greater racial and ethnic diversity across both schools.
