Funding

How Minnesota funds schools

Minnesota funds districts mainly through General Education Revenue, built on a basic formula allowance set per pupil unit by the Legislature — $7,281 per pupil for 2024–25, now indexed to inflation. On top of the basic allowance the formula layers weighted components for compensatory (poverty), English-learner, special-education and sparsity needs, so a district’s total revenue reflects both enrollment and student characteristics.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for St. Croix River Education District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Minnesota’s accountability system, North Star, is published through the Minnesota Report Card, covering achievement, growth, graduation, progress toward English-language proficiency and consistent attendance rather than a single A–F grade. Look up St. Croix River Education District on the Minnesota Report Card.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Minnesota has no state accreditation requirement for public districts; where districts pursue voluntary accreditation they generally work with Cognia, the de facto K-12 accreditor. Look up St. Croix River Education District in the free Cognia registry.
