Mabel-Canton Public School District

The Mabel-Canton Public School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Mabel-Canton Elementary and Mabel-Canton Secondary. While both schools have a predominantly white student population, the secondary school stands out as a high performer, ranking 76 out of 480 Minnesota high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

At the elementary level, Mabel-Canton Elementary boasts strong reading proficiency, with 5th graders scoring 79.17% proficient or better, well above the state average of 57.45%. However, the school's math proficiency rates range from 25% in 5th grade to 67.86% in 3rd grade, indicating room for improvement in this subject area. The secondary school, on the other hand, outperforms the state and district averages in both reading and math proficiency, with 10th graders scoring 70% proficient or better in reading.

The secondary school's impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate further solidify its status as a standout institution within the district. Additionally, the secondary school's lower student-teacher ratio of 9.8 may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes compared to the elementary school. While both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, the district may want to explore ways to address the lack of racial diversity and improve math and science proficiency across all grade levels.
