Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary

Summary:

Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Beaver Creek, Minnesota, serving 145 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic results that outshine the state averages.

Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary's academic prowess is particularly noteworthy, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading that significantly exceed the state's averages. The school's Math performance is especially impressive, with over 80% of 4th-grade students and more than 60% of students across all grades demonstrating proficiency. This consistent high performance suggests a well-established and effective educational program that delivers quality instruction and exceptional student outcomes. However, the school's predominantly white student population, with limited racial and ethnic diversity, may indicate a need to explore strategies to attract and support a more diverse student body.

Compared to nearby schools, Ellsworth Elementary and Luverne Elementary, Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary stands out with its consistently higher academic proficiency rates. While these neighboring schools also perform well, their student populations have a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their free and reduced-price lunch rates. This suggests that Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary may have additional resources and support systems in place to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
