Summary:
The Lake Superior Public School District in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Two Harbors Secondary and Wm. M. Kelley Secondary. While Two Harbors Secondary has consistently maintained a strong academic performance, ranking 119 out of 480 Minnesota high schools and earning a 4-star rating, Wm. M. Kelley Secondary has experienced a decline in its ranking, dropping from 201 to 322 out of 480 schools and earning a 2-star rating.
Two Harbors Secondary outperforms the district and state averages in several academic areas, such as MCA-III proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, and boasts a high 90.2% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Wm. M. Kelley Secondary struggles with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state, particularly in reading and science, despite maintaining a high 94.7% four-year graduation rate.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the two high schools, which may be influenced by factors such as resource allocation, teaching quality, or student support programs. Additionally, the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Wm. M. Kelley Secondary may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. The district should investigate the underlying reasons for the disparity and implement strategies to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students within the Lake Superior Public School District.
