Anoka-Hennepin Regional High School

Summary:

Anoka-Hennepin Regional High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Anoka, Minnesota, with a relatively small student population of 182 students. However, this school stands out within the Anoka-Hennepin School District for its consistently low academic performance, concerning graduation and dropout rates, and unique demographic characteristics.

Despite the district's overall 3-star rating, Anoka-Hennepin Regional High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Minnesota high schools, with 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Its four-year graduation rates have been extremely low, ranging from 11.4% to 36.5% over the past 5 years, while dropout rates have been high, ranging from 17.7% to 29.3%. The school's student population is racially diverse, with a high percentage of low-income students, which is significantly higher than nearby Coon Rapids High School and Champlin Park High School.

The stark contrast in academic performance between Anoka-Hennepin Regional High School and other schools in the district suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support systems to help students succeed and stay in school. The low student-teacher ratio could be an advantage, but the overall performance indicates that additional resources and strategies may be necessary to address the specific needs of the school's diverse student population and improve educational opportunities and outcomes.

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.
