Rocori Senior High

Summary:

Rocori Senior High is a public high school located in Cold Spring, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 876 students. The school is part of the Rocori Public School District, which is ranked 198 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rocori Senior High has a predominantly white student population, with 83.9% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Apollo Senior High and Technical Senior High, which have more diverse student populations. While Rocori Senior High has shown strong academic performance in the past, ranking as high as 17th out of 489 Minnesota high schools in the 2015-2016 school year, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping to 201st out of 480 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 3-star rating. However, the school has consistently maintained high graduation rates, with a 90.9% four-year graduation rate in the 2021-2022 school year, which is above the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Kimball Secondary has maintained a 4-star rating and a higher statewide ranking, highlighting the uneven educational outcomes within the region. Additionally, Rocori Senior High's performance on the MCA-III assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's Hispanic students and English Language Learner students performing significantly worse than their white and non-ELL counterparts. This suggests that the school system in the region is characterized by racial segregation and uneven educational opportunities.

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.
