Understanding the 10/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates New Prague Area Schools 10 out of 10 — top-tier among Minnesota public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection.
