Summary:
The city of Chokio, Minnesota is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through secondary grades: Chokio-Alberta Secondary and Chokio-Alberta Elementary. These schools stand out for their impressive graduation rates, strong academic performance in the elementary grades, and relatively small student populations.
Chokio-Alberta Secondary boasts a remarkable 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and a 0% dropout rate, indicating that students are successfully completing their high school education. In contrast, the academic performance at the secondary level is more mixed, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the state averages, particularly in reading. Meanwhile, Chokio-Alberta Elementary shines with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in math, reading, and science for the 5th grade level.
The data also reveals some potential areas for improvement, such as the stark contrast in academic performance between the elementary and secondary levels, and the higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary school, which may point to socioeconomic disparities within the Chokio-Alberta Public Schools district. Additionally, the schools' predominantly white student populations suggest a lack of racial diversity, which could impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students.
