Cleveland Secondary

Summary:

Cleveland Secondary is a public high school located in Cleveland, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 265 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Public School District, which is ranked 141 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cleveland Secondary has a predominantly white student population, with 88.68% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average of 45.47%. The school consistently achieves high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.2% to 97.8% over the past four years, well above the state average of around 83%. However, its test scores on the MCA-III assessments are mixed compared to the state and district averages, with the school performing well in some areas but lagging behind in others. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 16.28% in 2021-2022 to 28.3% in 2022-2023, suggesting the need to address the needs of its growing low-income student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Cleveland Secondary generally performs better than the Kato Public Charter School, which has very low test scores and graduation rates. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Mankato East Senior High and Le Sueur-Henderson High School in areas such as test scores and graduation rates. The school's ranking and performance have been inconsistent, and it may benefit from a closer examination of the factors contributing to these trends.

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.
