Marine Village School

Q: Is Marine Village School a good school?

Marine Village School ranks 354 th of 881 Minnesota elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Marine Village School is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in the town of Marine on Saint Croix, Minnesota, with a student population of just 29 students. While the school excels in reading proficiency, outperforming the state average, it underperforms in math compared to other schools in the area.

One of the school's key strengths is its very low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, significantly lower than nearby schools. However, the school's student population is predominantly White (96.55%), which is much higher than the diversity seen in surrounding schools. This racial homogeneity is reflected in the school's lower ranking for its White student subgroup, which is 397 out of 730 Minnesota elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. Nearby schools like Rutherford Elementary and Lily Lake Elementary, both part of the Stillwater Area Public Schools district, outperform Marine Village School in both math and reading proficiency.

Despite its strong reading scores, Marine Village School is ranked 354 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools, which is lower than the rankings of some nearby schools. The school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (10.34%) suggests a relatively advantaged student population, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the school's underperformance in math compared to the state average is an area that the school community may want to focus on improving.

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.
