Pillager Public School District

The Pillager Public School District consists of three schools: Pillager Elementary, Pillager Middle School, and Pillager Senior High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.

Pillager Elementary stands out as a consistent performer, consistently ranking in the top 40% of Minnesota elementary schools and demonstrating high proficiency rates in MCA-III math. In contrast, Pillager Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, coinciding with lower proficiency rates in MCA-III math and reading compared to the district and state averages. Pillager Senior High School has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, with a decline in MCA-III math proficiency but improvements in reading and science.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary and middle school levels may indicate a need for additional support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges. Overall, the Pillager Public School District has a mix of strong and declining performance across its schools, with Pillager Elementary standing out as a consistent performer and the middle and high schools experiencing more fluctuations in their rankings and test scores.
