Middle Schools in Stewartville Public School District

The Stewartville Public School District in Minnesota has a single middle school, Stewartville Middle, serving grades 6-8. While the school has a predominantly White student population, its academic performance, particularly in math and science, is below the district and state averages, and its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the past three years.

Stewartville Middle has an enrollment of 463 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1. The school's math proficiency rates range from 34.32% to 44.17% across grade levels, while its reading proficiency rates are closer to the district and state averages, ranging from 44.97% to 54.6%. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 30.18% is significantly lower than the district and state averages. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, and support for students in these subject areas.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 292 out of 520 Minnesota middle schools in 2021-2022 to 191 out of 545 in 2023-2024, and its decreasing SchoolDigger rating, from 2 stars out of 5 to 3 stars out of 5 over the same period, indicate that it is not keeping pace with other middle schools in the state. This could be a concern for the district and the community, as it may impact the school's reputation and the educational opportunities available to students. Additionally, the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (22.25%) suggests that the school may not have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could impact the school's funding and the resources available to support these students.
