Summary:
The Wabasha-Kellogg School District in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary and Falcon View Connections High School. Based on the data analysis, Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary emerges as the standout school, consistently outperforming its counterpart and the state averages in academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics.
Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary ranks 54th out of 480 Minnesota high schools and holds a 4-star rating, while Falcon View Connections High School ranks 291st and has a 2-star rating. Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary boasts a higher percentage of White students and a lower free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a more affluent student population. Additionally, the school's student-to-teacher ratio is more favorable, which may contribute to its stronger academic results, including higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science compared to the district and state averages.
In contrast, Falcon View Connections High School, a public virtual school, struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates and a much lower four-year graduation rate of 48.1% compared to Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary's 91.6%. The virtual school also has a higher dropout rate of 18.5%, nearly three times that of its traditional counterpart. These findings suggest that the Wabasha-Kellogg School District may need to address the challenges faced by its virtual high school to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
