McGregor Elementary

Summary:

McGregor Elementary is a public elementary school in McGregor, Minnesota, serving 233 students in grades PK-6 as part of the McGregor Public School District. The school has a unique student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Native American students compared to the state average.

Academically, McGregor Elementary's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, and there are notable disparities in the achievement of different student subgroups, such as female students outperforming male students and special education students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing better than the state average.

Despite these challenges, McGregor Elementary has shown gradual improvement in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, moving from the bottom third of Minnesota elementary schools to the middle third in the most recent school year. This suggests the school is making progress in its efforts to provide a quality education, but continued efforts are needed to address the identified areas of concern and ensure equitable and high-quality learning 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.
