Osakis Elementary

Summary:

Osakis Elementary is a public elementary school in Osakis, Minnesota, serving 418 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Osakis Public School District, which is ranked 76 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Osakis Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading assessments are significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels, particularly in Math, where 3rd-6th grade proficiency rates range from 56.72% to 85.25%, compared to the state averages of 40.25% to 58.79%. Osakis Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, such as Minnewaska Area Elementary, Garfield Elementary, and Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Elementary, in both Math and Reading proficiency.

While Osakis Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white, the school's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all of whom rank in the top 12.5%, 6.5%, and 8.2% of Minnesota elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the free and reduced-price lunch rate increasing from 26.28% to 46.41% in the past year, may present challenges that the Osakis Public School District will need to address in the future.

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.
