Priority based budget reductions: The district shared the priority based budget reduction information with families on March 5. You can read the message and view the priority budget reduction recommendations here.
The district has also published an FAQ. This document will be updated as needed.
A community meeting for public input on the recommended reductions will be held on Thursday, April 3, 2025, from 6-8:30 pm, in the Northfield Middle School auditorium. Please note the date change; this meeting was initially scheduled for March 11.
Measuring Student Growth Within The District
Northfield Public Schools will use standardized assessments and other testing to measure student growth, identify student needs, inform parents, guide curriculum, and communicate district performance. Students are encouraged to develop study schedules and utilize exam preparatory books if possible.
(Building schedules are subject to modification based on student and building need.)
Standardized testing is determined at the state level. The statewide assessments are used to measure that curriculum and daily instruction in our schools are being aligned to the academics standards, ensuring all students are being provided an equitable education. The Parent/Guardian Guide to Statewide Testing outlines more about academic standards and student participation.
In accordance with Minnesota statute, Northfield Public Schools developed a World’s Best Workforce (WBWF) Annual Report.
The Minnesota Department of Education provides easy access to district and school information, test results, revenue and expenditure data, and demographic information, using a tool called the Report Card. Here you can learn more about Northfield student performance on state and national assessments:
