Montrose Elementary School of Innov

Summary:

Montrose Elementary School of Innov is a public elementary school serving 351 students in grades PK-5 in Montrose, Minnesota, which is part of the Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Schools district. While the school has a higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Montrose Elementary has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Montrose Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 259 out of 870 Minnesota elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 510 out of 881 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance has been declining relative to other schools in the state. When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, Montrose Elementary's rankings are particularly low for white students and male students, indicating achievement gaps within the school. Compared to the nearby schools in the same district, Montrose Elementary generally underperforms, with a math proficiency rate of 46.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, lower than the district average of 48.72% and the performance of nearby schools like Discovery Elementary (40.83%) and Parkside Elementary (47.95%).

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Montrose Elementary may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. However, the school's ranking for low-SES students has been relatively higher than its overall ranking, suggesting that the school is doing a better job of supporting these students compared to the state average. Overall, Montrose Elementary School of Innov faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, declining statewide rankings, and a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, but the school's diversity and relatively low student-teacher ratio are notable.

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.
