Caledonia Senior High stands out for its strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota high schools in recent years. The school's MCA-III assessment scores in math, reading, and science consistently exceed the state average. Additionally, Caledonia Senior High maintains an impressive 98.4% four-year graduation rate and a very low dropout rate, ranging from 0% to 3% in recent years. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, at over 94%, which is significantly higher than the state average and the racial makeup of nearby schools like La Crescent Senior High and Mabel-Canton Secondary.

While Caledonia Senior High's overall performance is impressive, there are some areas for potential improvement. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that factors beyond just academic achievement may influence its standing. Additionally, the school's performance on MCA-III assessments varies across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for special education students and low-socioeconomic status students compared to the school's overall ranking. These findings indicate that Caledonia Senior High may need to address potential equity gaps and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
