New Heights School Inc.

New Heights School Inc. is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Stillwater, Minnesota. With an enrollment of 111 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly White (77.48%) student population, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (58.56% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, New Heights School Inc. has consistently underperformed the state averages on standardized assessments, with proficiency rates of just 11.54% in math, 29.03% in reading, and 16.67% in science, compared to state averages of 45.47%, 49.85%, and 39.56%, respectively. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 81.8% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 9.0% is relatively high.

Despite the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1, the data suggests that New Heights School Inc. is struggling to provide its students with the support and resources they need to succeed academically. The school's challenges in academic performance, graduation and dropout rates, and serving a population with significant economic disadvantages indicate that it may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes.
