Summary:
The Mesabi East School District has one elementary school, Mesabi East Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 474 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages in math, reading, and science, particularly in math. Mesabi East Elementary's student population is predominantly White (86.71%), with a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 51.05%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student body.
Despite these challenges, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1 is relatively low, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 572 out of 858 schools in 2021-2022 to 468 out of 845 schools in 2022-2023, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in overall performance.
Overall, the data suggests that Mesabi East Elementary faces some challenges in academic performance and may benefit from efforts to address the needs of its student population, which includes a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help the school improve its standing and better serve its community.
