Minnewaska Area Intermediate School

Summary:

Minnewaska Area Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Glenwood, Minnesota, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 292 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, with over 60% of students proficient or better in Math, 70% in Reading, and 72% in Science, significantly higher than the state averages.

While the school has a high percentage of white students (95.55%) compared to the state's more diverse student body, it maintains a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.51%) compared to the state average of around 38%. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 22.4 is higher than the recommended ratio of 15-18 students per teacher, which may present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to each student.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Discovery Middle School and Minnewaska Area Junior High, Minnewaska Area Intermediate School stands out for its consistent academic excellence, though the school's lack of racial diversity and higher student-teacher ratio are areas that could be further explored and addressed to ensure a well-rounded and equitable educational experience for all students. The school is part of the Minnewaska School District, while nearby Alexandria Public School District also serves the local community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
