Caledonia Middle consistently outperforms the state average in both math and reading proficiency, with 51.45% of students proficient or better in math and 54.01% in reading, compared to the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.87% to 32.65% over the past three years, indicating a student population with higher socioeconomic status. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with over 93% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and nearby schools.

While Caledonia Middle's academic performance is strong, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate area. Rushford-Peterson Middle, located about 17 miles away, has higher math and reading proficiency rates in several grade levels. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity at Caledonia Middle may be a concern, as research suggests that diverse learning environments can provide benefits for students. The school may want to consider strategies to attract and support a more diverse student population.

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.
