Summary:

Cromwell-Wright Elementary is a public elementary school in Cromwell, Minnesota, serving 149 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages in both math and reading proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 6th grade reading. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.63%) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Moose Lake Elementary, Floodwood Elementary, and Barnum Elementary.

Cromwell-Wright Elementary's academic performance is impressive, with 60.98% of students proficient or better in math and 58.54% in reading, compared to state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 10.2 over the past three years.

While Cromwell-Wright Elementary's academic performance is commendable, the lack of racial diversity in the student population may present challenges in terms of cultural awareness and inclusivity. The nearby schools, such as Moose Lake Public School District, Floodwood Public School District, and Barnum Public School District, have more diverse student populations, which could provide valuable learning experiences for students at Cromwell-Wright Elementary.

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.
