Summary:
The Laporte Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single high school, Laporte Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, a high poverty rate, and concerning graduation and dropout rates.
Academically, Laporte Secondary lags behind state averages across all subject areas and grade levels on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III). In 2023-2024, only 4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.99%. The school's performance in Reading and Science is also well below state benchmarks. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Compounding these academic challenges, Laporte Secondary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 54.84% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 64.7% and a high dropout rate of 23.5%, both of which are significantly worse than state averages. These factors suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
