Banaadir Secondary

Summary:

Banaadir Secondary is a public charter high school located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 95, all of whom are African American. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 400 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Banaadir Secondary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's test scores on the MCA-III assessments are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 9.09% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.99%. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, are among the lowest in the state, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, Banaadir Secondary has an extremely high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a highly disadvantaged population.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as MPS Online 6-12, Harrison Education Center, Minneapolis Academy & Career Center, Metro College Prep, and North High, also serve predominantly minority and low-income student populations, but generally perform better than Banaadir Secondary on state assessments and have higher graduation rates, suggesting they may be more effective in supporting their students' academic and social-emotional needs.

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.
