Crosslake Community 6-12 Online

Summary:

Crosslake Community 6-12 Online is a public charter virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Crosslake, Minnesota, with a student population of 270. However, the school has faced significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance.

The school's struggles are evident in its poor metrics, including a steadily declining 4-year graduation rate, which dropped from 50.0% in 2018-2019 to just 56.7% in 2021-2022, well below the state average of around 83%. Additionally, Crosslake Community 6-12 Online has seen a sharp increase in dropout rates, from 5.2% in 2018-2019 to 13.4% in 2021-2022, more than double the state average. The school's proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) are consistently well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 4.76% of 11th graders proficient in math in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 34.99%. The school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 24.77% in 2020-2021 to 56.67% in 2022-2023, may be contributing to these academic struggles.

In comparison, neighboring high schools, such as Pine River-Backus High School, Pine River-Backus ALP, Crosby-Ironton Secondary, and Pequot Lakes Senior High, generally outperform Crosslake Community 6-12 Online on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and statewide rankings. The data suggests that Crosslake Community 6-12 Online may benefit from targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes and better serve its growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
