Summary:
New Heights School Inc. is the sole high school in the data set, serving grades 6-12 in Stillwater, Minnesota. This public charter school has consistently underperformed compared to other Minnesota high schools, ranking in the bottom quartile and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for several consecutive years.
The school's student population is predominantly White (77.48%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (9.01%), two or more races (10.81%), African American (1.8%), and Native American (0.9%) students. New Heights School Inc. has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 81.8% and a high dropout rate of 9.0%, both of which are worse than the state averages. Additionally, the school's students perform significantly below the state average on standardized tests, with only 11.54% of students proficient or better in Math.
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 a high-quality education to its predominantly low-income student population, as indicated by the high percentage (58.56%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's consistently poor performance and challenges in serving its diverse student body indicate that significant improvements may be needed to better support the educational needs of the Stillwater community.
