MN River Valley Education District

The MN River Valley Education District is home to a single high school, MN River Valley Alternative Learning Center-Seatbased, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 90 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by state proficiency tests, is significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas.

The school's 11th grade math proficiency rate of 6.25% is less than a fifth of the state's 34.99%, and its overall math proficiency of 10% is also much lower than the state's 45.47%. Similarly, the school's 10th grade reading proficiency rate of 20% is less than half the state's 52.22%, and its overall reading proficiency of 21.43% is below the state's 49.85%. The school's science proficiency rates also lag behind the state, with an end-of-course rate of 18.18% compared to the state's 43.47%.

Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively low dropout rate of 3.3% and a four-year graduation rate of 83.3%, suggesting that it is effective in keeping students engaged and on track to graduation. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (73.33%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the observed academic performance issues. Addressing these disparities and improving the school's overall academic outcomes should be a priority for the MN River Valley Education District.
