St. Francis Area Schools

Summary:

The St. Francis Area Schools district in Minnesota consists of 11 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some variation in racial diversity across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, St. Francis Elementary and Cedar Creek Elementary School consistently perform well, ranking in the top 25-40% of Minnesota elementary schools and maintaining high proficiency rates in core subjects. In contrast, the alternative Crossroads School and the district's virtual schools face challenges, with lower test scores, higher dropout rates, and a greater percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the St. Francis Area Schools district, suggesting the need to investigate the factors contributing to these disparities and implement strategies to support struggling schools. The consistently high performance of St. Francis Elementary provides a valuable model for the district, while the unique challenges faced by alternative and virtual schools warrant further exploration and targeted interventions.
