Westbrook-Walnut Grove Secondary

Summary:

Westbrook-Walnut Grove Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Westbrook, Minnesota, with a student population of 183. The school is part of the Region 6 and 8-SW/Wc Service Coop district, which is ranked 305 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westbrook-Walnut Grove Secondary stands out for its relatively high percentage of Asian students (28.42%), which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Murray County Central High School (94.63%) and Red Rock Central Secondary (94.95%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III assessments, is consistently lower than the state and district averages, as well as the nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade Math proficiency rate was 23.08%, compared to the state average of 34.99%, and the 7th-grade Reading proficiency rate was only 13.79%, compared to the state average of 45.51%.

Westbrook-Walnut Grove Secondary also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 48.26% to 54.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools. This could be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of this student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.3% to 97.1% over the past few years, though its dropout rate has been higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 2.8% to 5.0% in recent years.

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.
