Maple Lake Elementary

Summary:

Maple Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Maple Lake, Minnesota, serving 396 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. This school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students significantly outperforming the state average in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels.

One notable aspect of Maple Lake Elementary is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.71%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. While this is an interesting point of differentiation, it could also be an area for the Maple Lake Public School District to explore in terms of promoting greater inclusivity and representation. Nonetheless, Maple Lake Elementary's exceptional performance extends beyond its overall student population, with the school ranking very highly (top 5-10%) in the state for the performance of its special education and low-income student subgroups on the MCA-III assessments.

When compared to nearby schools, Maple Lake Elementary shines as a high-performing institution. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Maple Lake's math proficiency rate of 61.84% was significantly higher than the Monticello Public School District (55.19%) and the Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Schools (48.72%). This consistent high performance, coupled with the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, contributes to Maple Lake Elementary's reputation as a standout educational institution in the region.

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.
