Summary:
The city of Lake Park, Minnesota has a single public high school, Lake Park Audubon Secondary, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 363 students. While the school has a predominantly White student population, it faces significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science falling well below state averages.
Lake Park Audubon Secondary's academic performance has been on a concerning downward trend, with its statewide ranking dropping from 147th out of 472 Minnesota high schools in 2021-2022 to 230th out of 480 in 2023-2024. The school's math proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 14.04% of students proficient in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 45.47%. Reading and science proficiency rates also lag behind state benchmarks, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes in core academic areas.
Additionally, the school's student population lacks diversity, with 87.05% of students identifying as White and very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. This racial disparity may indicate potential issues with equity and access for underrepresented students. Furthermore, the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (36.64%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may also be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Overall, the data for Lake Park Audubon Secondary highlights the need for the Lake Park Audubon School District to closely examine its educational practices and implement strategies to address the school's performance and equity issues.
