High Schools in Mora Public School District

The Mora Public School District in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Mora Secondary and Mora Alternative Learning Center. Based on the available data, Mora Secondary appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Minnesota high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mora Secondary boasts a strong 88.8% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the district and state averages on most MCA-III proficiency metrics, particularly in reading and science. In contrast, Mora Alternative Learning Center struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages, especially in math, and a lower 57.8% graduation rate. The significant disparity in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools, with Mora Alternative Learning Center having a much higher percentage of students eligible, suggests a potential socioeconomic divide within the district that may be contributing to the performance gap.

While the student-teacher ratio differences between the two schools are relatively small, the data highlights the need for the Mora Public School District to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance gap and implement targeted strategies to support the lower-performing Mora Alternative Learning Center and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
