Summary:
The Truman Public School District has only one elementary school, Truman Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in a relatively small community, Truman Elementary faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading below the state averages.
Truman Elementary's enrollment of 158 students is predominantly White (86.08%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic and other racial groups. The school has a high percentage of students (67.72%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance, which is consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools and has received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Truman Elementary's proficiency rates in Science are higher than the state average, its Math and Reading scores lag behind. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.4 is slightly higher than the state average, which could also be a factor in its academic challenges. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of the student population and close the achievement gap in core subject areas.
