Edgerton Elementary

Summary:

Edgerton Elementary is a public elementary school in Edgerton, Minnesota, serving 225 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Edgerton Public School District, which is ranked 320 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Edgerton Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of Hispanic students (23.56%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 5.96% to 11.79% Hispanic. However, the school's overall academic performance on the MCA-III assessments is generally lower than state and nearby school averages, particularly in 5th grade Math where the proficiency rate was only 32.14% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 44.14%. The school's Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status perform better relative to their peers in Minnesota, but the performance for female students, male students, and special education students is lower.

Interestingly, Edgerton Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 577th out of 847 Minnesota elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 553rd out of 881 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance is not keeping pace with improvements seen in other schools across the state. Nearby schools like Adrian Elementary, West Elementary, and Luverne Elementary generally outperform Edgerton Elementary, which may be due to their higher percentages of White students and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
