Overland Elementary School

Q: Is Overland Elementary School a good school?

Overland Elementary School ranks 496 th of 881 Minnesota elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Overland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rochester, Minnesota, serving 468 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Rochester Public School District, which is ranked 205 out of 463 districts in the state.

Overland Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 44.66% White, 23.93% African American, 8.55% Hispanic, and 13.89% Asian students. Academically, the school performs well, with math and reading proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. However, its science proficiency rate is lower than the district and state. Interestingly, Overland's African American, Hispanic, and Asian students all rank highly compared to other Minnesota elementary schools, while its White students rank significantly lower.

Compared to nearby schools, Washington District-Wide Elementary and Jefferson Elementary outperform Overland in overall academic proficiency, particularly in math and reading. This may be related to the fact that these higher-performing schools have lower percentages of students from low-income families, as Overland has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 51.5%. Overland's diverse population and strong performance among certain student subgroups suggest the school is effectively serving its community, but the underperformance of White students and lower science proficiency are areas that warrant further investigation and improvement.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Overland Elementary School

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2023	468	16.8	27.7	51.5

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.
