917 DCALS Main

Summary:

917 DCALS Main is a public high school in Rosemount, Minnesota, serving grades 8-12 with 206 students. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools and faces challenges with lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and significantly lower academic performance.

One key differentiator is the school's racial diversity, with 63.11% White, 10.68% African American, 16.02% Hispanic, and 7.28% two or more races in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the four-year graduation rate at 917 DCALS Main has been consistently lower than the state average, ranging from 42.4% to 58.7% in recent years, significantly below the high graduation rates of nearby Eagan Senior High (95.1%) and Eastview Senior High (93.0%). The school also has higher dropout rates, ranging from 2.8% to 6.5% in recent years, compared to 1.8% at Eagan Senior High and 2.3% at Eastview Senior High.

Academically, 917 DCALS Main's performance, as measured by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is significantly lower than the state and Intermediate School District 917 averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 11.11% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.99% and the district average of 6.67%. This lower academic achievement, combined with the school's higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (41.26%), suggests that 917 DCALS Main faces unique challenges compared to the high-performing Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
