High Schools in Metro Schools Charter

The Metro Schools Charter district in Minnesota has only one high school, Metro College Prep, which serves a predominantly African American student population. While the school's reading proficiency rates are on par with the state average, its math and science proficiency levels are significantly lower, indicating academic underperformance compared to other Minnesota high schools.

Metro College Prep also faces challenges in terms of graduation and dropout rates, with a lower-than-average four-year graduation rate of 72% and a higher-than-average dropout rate of 3%. These metrics suggest that the school may struggle to support and retain its students, which could be influenced by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (96.85% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 30.6.

Overall, the data suggests that Metro Schools Charter and its sole high school, Metro College Prep, face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a deeper understanding of the unique needs and circumstances of the school's community.
