Creekstone Montessori's academic performance is a concern, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments compared to the state averages.

The school's 3rd and 4th-grade Math and Reading proficiency rates are also well below the state averages. Additionally, Creekstone Montessori has a relatively high percentage of students (22.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.3, which could be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges.

When compared to nearby public schools, such as Pinecrest Elementary, Kennedy Elementary, Cannon Falls Elementary, and Bluff View Elementary, Creekstone Montessori's academic performance is significantly lower, with these schools generally having higher proficiency rates in Math and Reading, lower free and reduced lunch rates, and more favorable student-teacher ratios.

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.
