Summary:
The city of Wrenshall, Minnesota is home to two public schools - Wrenshall Secondary and Wrenshall Elementary, both serving students in the Wrenshall Public School District. While the schools share a community, they exhibit notable differences in their student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics.
Wrenshall Secondary stands out for its relatively small enrollment of 176 students and diverse student population, with 13.64% non-white students. However, the school struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages in math, reading, and science. Additionally, Wrenshall Secondary has a concerning 12.5% dropout rate and a low 4-year graduation rate of 83.3%. In contrast, Wrenshall Elementary has a slightly larger enrollment of 175 students, but a more homogeneous population, with 90.86% white students. The elementary school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above state averages in math and reading, while others lag behind.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the academic struggles observed in the district. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student populations could limit students' exposure to different perspectives and experiences. Overall, the data suggests that the Wrenshall Public School District has room for improvement in addressing the academic, demographic, and socioeconomic challenges faced by its schools to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
