Twin Bluff School

Summary:

Twin Bluff School is a public middle school in Red Wing, Minnesota, serving 534 students in grades 5-7. The school is part of the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District, which is ranked 312 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Twin Bluff School has seen an increase in racial diversity, with the percentage of Hispanic and Native American students rising. This is a key differentiating factor compared to the nearby Zumbrota-Mazeppa Middle School, which has a student population that is 90.55% White. However, Twin Bluff School's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, has been mixed, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading lower than the state averages. Interestingly, the school's Native American students performed relatively well, ranking 20th out of 55 Minnesota middle schools in this subgroup, while White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performed poorly.

Another notable finding is the performance of the Pathways Program Grades 6-7, a small public middle school with a unique racial makeup but significantly lower academic performance than the state and district averages. Additionally, Twin Bluff School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 99th out of 469 Minnesota middle schools in 2011-2012 to 293rd out of 545 in 2023-2024, which is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

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.
