Three Rivers Montessori School

Summary:

Three Rivers Montessori School is a public charter elementary school in Elk River, Minnesota, serving 157 students from kindergarten to 6th grade, with a predominantly White student population.

While the school aims to provide a Montessori-based education, its academic performance has been a significant concern. Three Rivers Montessori consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby public schools, such as Big Woods Elementary, Hassan Elementary, and Twin Lakes Elementary, in both Math and Reading proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 17.78% in Math and 26.67% in Reading, significantly lower than the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, particularly White students, is also concerning, with the school ranking 726 out of 730 Minnesota elementary schools for this subgroup in Math.

Further analysis reveals that the school's high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 12.27% to 24.84%, and its relatively high student-teacher ratio, which has varied from 17 to 19.6, may be contributing factors to the school's academic underperformance. Additionally, the school's racial makeup, which is predominantly White, may be a factor in the observed racial disparities in achievement. The school's declining performance over the past few years, with Math proficiency rates dropping from 28.57% in 2021-2022 to 17.78% in 2023-2024, suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students at Elk River Public School District.

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.
