Summary:
The city of Nashwauk, Minnesota is home to a single public high school, Nashwauk Secondary, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 249 students. The school is part of the Nashwauk-Keewatin School District, which is ranked 288 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Nashwauk Secondary has a predominantly white student population, with 87.15% of students identifying as white. The school has a relatively diverse student body, with 2.01% Hispanic, 0.8% African American, 0.8% Asian, and 0.8% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in math and reading for all grades at 39% and 39.09%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%. The school also has a higher dropout rate of 9.3% compared to the state average.
Nashwauk Secondary faces several challenges, including declining academic performance over the past few years, a high percentage of students from low-income families (55.42% receive free or reduced-price lunch), and a student-teacher ratio that is slightly higher than the state average. While the school's diverse student population could be a strength, the data suggests that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for all students.
