High Schools in St. Cloud Public School District

Summary:

The St. Cloud Public School District in Minnesota is home to three high schools: Technical Senior High, Apollo Senior High, and St. Cloud Area Learning Center. These schools serve a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American, Hispanic, and students of two or more races.

Academically, the high schools in the district are underperforming compared to the state average. Technical Senior High and Apollo Senior High have relatively low proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, while St. Cloud Area Learning Center stands out as the lowest-performing school, with proficiency rates near 0% in many subject areas. Additionally, the four-year graduation rates at Technical Senior High and Apollo Senior High are below the state average, and St. Cloud Area Learning Center has an alarmingly low four-year graduation rate of only 24.2% and a high dropout rate of 16.4%.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the schools' academic performance, as the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at all three high schools indicate potential challenges related to equity and access to resources. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the St. Cloud Public School District.
