Greenway Middle

Summary:

Greenway Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Coleraine, Minnesota, with a student population of 302 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly White (81.13%), with smaller percentages of Native American, two or more races, Hispanic, and African American students.

While Greenway Middle has performed relatively well for its Native American, special education, and low-income students, it has struggled the most with its White student population, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Minnesota middle schools for this subgroup. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III assessments, has been declining over the past several years, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science falling below state and district averages. Additionally, Greenway Middle has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rates, rising from 43.48% in 2021-2022 to 59.6% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

In comparison, the nearby Robert J. Elkington Middle School in the Grand Rapids Public School District outperforms Greenway Middle across several key metrics, including higher statewide rankings, better academic performance, lower free and reduced lunch rates, and a lower student-teacher ratio. In contrast, the Middle Area Learning Center, also in the Grand Rapids Public School District, performs significantly worse than Greenway Middle across all academic measures.

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.
