The school is part of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district, which is ranked 100 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Black Hawk Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 48.32% White, 21.36% African American, 10.96% Hispanic, and 8.05% Asian students. The school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Minnesota middle schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, while Black Hawk Middle performs particularly well for its White and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, its performance for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status (SES) subgroups is more average, ranking in the middle 50% of Minnesota middle schools. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing additional support for its underperforming subgroups.

Black Hawk Middle is located in close proximity to several other high-performing middle schools in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, such as Rosemount Middle and Dakota Hills Middle, which consistently outperform Black Hawk Middle on academic measures. Additionally, Black Hawk Middle has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, from 22.16% in 2020-2021 to 43.29% in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be serving a growing population of students from lower-income households, which could impact academic performance and resource needs.

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.
