Middle Schools in Mora Public School District


Summary:

The Mora Public School District has only one middle school, the Mora Middle Level Alternative Learning Center, which serves a small student population of just 15 students. This school stands out for its predominantly White student body (73.33%) with a significant Hispanic minority (26.67%), as well as its struggling academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of Minnesota middle schools.

Academically, the Mora Middle Level Alternative Learning Center faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments well below the district and state averages. In 2022-2023, only 8.33% of students were proficient in Math, compared to 53.82% for the district and 45.49% statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 80%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the small size of the Mora Middle Level Alternative Learning Center may present unique challenges, the school's consistently low academic performance and equity concerns raise questions about the quality of education being provided to its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's struggles and identify potential strategies for improvement to better serve the needs of the Mora Public School District's middle school students.
