Summary:
The Worthington Public School District in Minnesota is home to three high schools: Worthington Senior High, Learning Center, and Learning Center Night. While the district as a whole is ranked 336 out of 463 in Minnesota and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, Worthington Senior High stands out as the strongest performer, with higher academic proficiency rates and graduation rates compared to the district and state averages.
Worthington Senior High has the largest enrollment with 1,134 students and a more diverse student population, with 62.79% Hispanic, 21.69% White, 7.67% Asian, and 5.47% African American students. In contrast, the Learning Center and Learning Center Night schools have even higher percentages of Hispanic students, at 74.39% and 81.25%, respectively. These smaller schools also have significantly lower academic proficiency rates, often in the single digits or low teens.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools, ranging from 72.75% at Worthington Senior High to 82.93% at Learning Center, indicate that the Worthington Public School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing to the academic struggles of the district's schools. While Worthington Senior High is the standout performer, the district as a whole needs to implement targeted interventions and support to improve the performance of all its schools.
