Summary:
The Little Falls Community Schools district in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Little Falls Senior High and Little Falls Continuing Education. While both schools serve high school students, they exhibit significant differences in academic performance, student demographics, and overall outcomes.
Little Falls Senior High is the standout school, with a larger student population of 781 and consistently higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to the Continuing Education school. The school's students perform well above the district and state averages in MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science proficiency. In contrast, Little Falls Continuing Education struggles academically, with 0% proficiency in 11th-grade Math and all grades in the 2023-2024 school year.
The demographic differences between the two schools are also notable. Little Falls Senior High has a more homogeneous student population, with 91.81% White students, while Little Falls Continuing Education has a more diverse student body. Additionally, the free and reduced lunch rate is much higher at the Continuing Education school (68.09%) compared to the Senior High (40.33%), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. These factors may contribute to the significant performance gap between the two schools within the same Little Falls Community Schools district.
