Summary:
The Lanesboro Public School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Lanesboro Elementary and Lanesboro Secondary. While both schools have a predominantly white student population, Lanesboro Secondary stands out as the stronger performer, with a higher statewide ranking, better graduation and dropout rates, and stronger test scores in key areas compared to the district and state averages.
Lanesboro Secondary ranks 108th out of 480 Minnesota high schools and has a graduation rate of 97.0% and a dropout rate of 2.9%. In contrast, Lanesboro Elementary ranks 419th out of 881 elementary schools. Lanesboro Secondary also outperforms the district and state in 10th grade reading proficiency and end-of-course science proficiency.
However, both schools face challenges in overall academic performance, with Lanesboro Elementary and Lanesboro Secondary scoring below state averages in math and reading proficiency. The higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at Lanesboro Elementary and the significant difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools may contribute to these performance gaps. The district could benefit from efforts to address these disparities and promote diversity and inclusion.
