Gentry Academy High

Summary:

Gentry Academy High is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, with a student population of 126. While the school has some strong metrics, such as a 100% four-year graduation rate and low free/reduced lunch rates, it has faced challenges in academic performance and declining rankings compared to nearby schools.

Gentry Academy High stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (95.24%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have much more diverse student populations. However, the school's proficiency rates in Math (12.5%) and Science (17.39%) are well below the state averages, though its Reading proficiency rate (51.72%) is slightly above the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 226 out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 338 out of 480 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 1 star.

While Gentry Academy High has impressive graduation and dropout rates, it generally underperforms compared to the nearby public schools, such as Afsa High School, 916 Mahtomedi Academy, and White Bear South Campus Senior, in terms of academic proficiency and statewide rankings. This raises questions about the school's ability to provide a well-rounded education to its students, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these challenges.

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.
