Compass-Bell Center

Summary:

Compass-Bell Center is a public high school located in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a relatively small student population of 26 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school stands out within the Anoka-Hennepin School District, which is ranked 165 out of 448 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compass-Bell Center has a more diverse student population compared to nearby high schools like Champlin Park High School, Blaine High School, and Coon Rapids High School. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with 0% proficiency in Math and only 16.13% proficiency in Reading. Additionally, Compass-Bell Center has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.77%, which is much higher than the nearby high schools.

Despite its small size and challenges, Compass-Bell Center stands out with a very low student-teacher ratio of 2.7 students per teacher, which could present an opportunity to implement more personalized and targeted interventions to support student learning and growth. However, the school's consistently low academic performance and high poverty rates suggest that it may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, especially when compared to the nearby high schools in the Anoka-Hennepin School District.

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.
