Swanville Public School District

The Swanville Public School District consists of two schools: Swanville Elementary and Swanville Secondary. While Swanville Elementary has consistently low rankings and test scores compared to state averages, Swanville Secondary has shown more promising performance, emerging as the standout school in the district.

Swanville Elementary is ranked 715 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the state averages in math and reading proficiency across all grade levels and has a high percentage of students (49.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Swanville Secondary is ranked 195 out of 480 Minnesota high schools and has a 3-star rating. The secondary school outperforms the state averages in math and reading proficiency for 11th-grade students and boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.7% with a 0% dropout rate.

The stark performance differences between the two schools suggest that the Swanville Public School District may need to closely examine the factors contributing to the elementary school's underperformance and implement targeted strategies to address the academic needs of its students. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Swanville Elementary indicates that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's lower academic performance.
