New York Mills Public School District

The New York Mills Public School District consists of two schools - New York Mills Elementary and New York Mills Secondary - serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is highly ranked, with New York Mills Secondary standing out as a particularly strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota high schools over the past 3 years.

New York Mills Secondary boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a 84.0% 4-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average. The school also excels academically, with 11th-grade students scoring above the state average in math proficiency and 10th-grade students exceeding the state average in reading proficiency. In contrast, New York Mills Elementary has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 15.2, compared to 16.0 at the secondary school.

While the New York Mills Public School District provides a quality education, the student population at both schools is predominantly white, with over 90% of students identifying as such. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 48% at both schools. These factors may warrant further exploration and consideration by the district to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students.
