Crosslake Community Seat Based

Summary:

Crosslake Community Seat Based is a public charter elementary school serving 141 students in grades K-8 in the small town of Crosslake, Minnesota. While the school generally outperforms its Crosslake Community Charter School district on academic measures, it faces challenges in maintaining its performance relative to the state and nearby public schools.

One key differentiator is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.2%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Crosslake Community K-5 Online. Academically, Crosslake Community Seat Based performs better than its district in reading, but still lags behind state averages in both math and reading. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 37.5% in 2021-2022 to 51.06% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby public schools like Pine River-Backus Elementary, Cuyuna Range Elementary, and Eagle View Elementary, Crosslake Community Seat Based has a lower student-teacher ratio but has seen its statewide ranking decline from 325 out of 826 Minnesota elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 527 out of 881 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school may need to focus more resources on supporting its growing population of economically disadvantaged students and addressing any achievement gaps to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
