Nrheg Secondary

Summary:

Nrheg Secondary is a public high school located in New Richland, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 455. The school faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, below-average academic performance, and declining graduation and dropout rates.

Nrheg Secondary's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science all lower than the Minnesota state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 91.1% in 2018-2019 to 84.8% in 2021-2022, and its dropout rate has increased from 2.9% to 10.6% during the same period. When compared to nearby schools, such as Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Secondary, Nrheg Secondary generally performs worse academically.

Nrheg Secondary's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup. While the school's low-income students perform relatively well, ranking 158 out of 389 Minnesota high schools in 2023-2024, the school's female and male students, as well as its white students, all rank in the bottom third of Minnesota high schools. Additionally, Nrheg Secondary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 169 out of 489 Minnesota high schools in 2015-2016 to 343 out of 480 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is not keeping pace with academic improvements in other Minnesota high 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.
