Farmington Elementary

Summary:

Farmington Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmington, Minnesota, serving 565 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Farmington Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (70.97%) compared to nearby schools like North Trail Elementary (59.78%), Akin Road Elementary (69.02%), and Meadowview Elementary (66.03%), its academic performance is generally lower than state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Farmington Elementary's proficiency rates in Math (47.93%), Reading (48.16%), and Science (37.36%) were all below the state and district averages. The school also ranks in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools for white students and the bottom half for students with low socioeconomic status, though it ranks very highly (top 5%) for English Language Learner students.

Farmington Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 91 out of 853 Minnesota elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 512 out of 881 in the current 2023-2024 school year. This concerning trend suggests the school may be struggling to maintain its academic standards, especially when compared to other nearby schools in the Farmington Public School District that outperform Farmington Elementary on MCA-III test scores. However, the school's strong performance for English Language Learners indicates it has the potential to improve outcomes for other student subgroups with targeted interventions and support programs.

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.
