Despite being part of the Northeast Metro 916 school district, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools, with a SchoolDigger rating of 0 or 1 out of 5 stars.

Quora Secondary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and supporting its diverse student population. The school has a higher percentage of African American (23-26%) and Hispanic (7-10%) students compared to the state average, but has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 21.4% to 50% over the past several years, significantly below the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 14.2% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. Academically, Quora Secondary School's performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, with 0% proficiency in Math for 11th grade, compared to the state average of 34.99%.

Interestingly, Quora Secondary School's performance lags behind nearby schools, such as East View Academy, Lionsgate Academy - Lynx Program, and Johnson Senior High, which have higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and better academic outcomes. The school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.14% to 69.23% in recent years. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Quora Secondary School has not shown consistent improvement in its performance metrics over the years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and the implementation of targeted interventions to address the root causes of its struggles.

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.
