High Schools in Cloquet Public School District

The Cloquet Public School District in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Cloquet Senior High School and Cloquet Area Alternative Education Programs. While both serve high school students, the data analysis reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools.

Cloquet Senior High School stands out as the stronger-performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Cloquet Area Alternative Education Programs. Cloquet Senior High School has a diverse student population, with 73.38% White, 8.88% Native American, and 13.88% two or more races, and outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency.

In contrast, Cloquet Area Alternative Education Programs struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates and a high 20.4% dropout rate. The school has a higher percentage of Native American students (19.54%) and a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (78.16%), suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's lower performance. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio, this alone does not appear to be enough to address the educational challenges faced by the students.
