Summary:
The Laporte Public School District in Minnesota operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. Overall, the district is performing significantly below state averages, with all three schools ranking in the bottom 25% of Minnesota schools in their respective categories.
Laporte Elementary School stands out for its relatively high percentage of Native American students (15.68%) and consistently low statewide rankings, with below-average proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science. Similarly, Laporte Middle School also has a high percentage of Native American students (8.7%) and is ranked in the bottom 25% of Minnesota middle schools. The district's high school, Laporte Secondary School, has a concerning dropout rate of 23.5% and a graduation rate of only 64.7%, well below the state average.
Across the district, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 54.84% to 68.65%. This, combined with the consistently low academic performance, suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique educational needs of the Laporte Public School District's students.
