Southview Elementary

Q: Is Southview Elementary a good school?

Southview Elementary ranks 534 th of 881 Minnesota elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Southview Elementary is a public elementary school in Marshall, Minnesota, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 527 students. The school is part of the Marshall Public School District, which is ranked 268 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southview Elementary stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 51.42% White, 7.59% African American, 19.92% Hispanic, and 14.42% Asian students. The school's performance on the MCA-III assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in both math and reading. However, Southview has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 64.14%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Tracy Elementary and Lakeview Elementary schools. Additionally, Southview has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 12.2, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 4.9 to 13.7 students per teacher.

While Southview Elementary's overall performance is respectable, the school's leadership and the Marshall Public School District may need to explore strategies to address the challenges posed by the high percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch and the relatively low student-teacher ratio. By understanding the school's key metrics and areas of strength and weakness, the district can develop targeted approaches to support Southview Elementary and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.

2022	507	40.6	12.4	52.3

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
