Summary:
The Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School District in Minnesota operates two schools: W.H.A. Elementary and Walker-Hackensack-Akeley Sec. While W.H.A. Elementary has a high percentage of Native American students, both schools perform below the state average on standardized tests and have low ratings from SchoolDigger.
W.H.A. Elementary stands out for its high percentage of Native American students (27.88%), which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school is ranked 645 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its academic performance is well below the state average. Similarly, Walker-Hackensack-Akeley Sec. is ranked 327 out of 480 Minnesota high schools and has a 2-star rating, with a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 77.7% and a high dropout rate of 18.5%.
Across both schools, the data shows significant gaps in proficiency rates for math, reading, and science compared to state averages. This suggests the Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School District may need to re-evaluate its curriculum, teaching methods, and resource allocation to better support student achievement, particularly for its large Native American student population.
