New Century School Secondary

Summary:

New Century School Secondary is a public charter secondary school located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving grades 6-11 with a total enrollment of 165 students, the vast majority of whom (99.39%) are African American.

The school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math ranged from 7.69% to 27.27%, compared to the state average of 34.99% to 45.47%. Similarly, in Reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 23.08% to 41.86%, compared to the state average of 44.58% to 54.54%. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like White Bear North Campus Senior, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in Reading and Science, even though it serves a more diverse student population. Additionally, New Century School Secondary has an extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 98.18% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population.

The combination of a high-poverty student population, low academic performance, and lack of racial diversity in the student body may indicate significant challenges faced by New Century School Secondary. These challenges could be related to factors such as resource availability, teacher quality, and the overall educational environment. However, there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes, such as professional development for teachers, implementation of evidence-based instructional strategies, and increased engagement with the local Hope Community Academy community to address the unique needs of the student population.

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.
