East Grand Forks Senior High

Summary:

East Grand Forks Senior High is a public high school serving 541 students in grades 9-12 in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, which is part of the East Grand Forks Public Schools district. The school has a predominantly white student population, with a relatively diverse mix of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students.

Academically, East Grand Forks Senior High has shown mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's 10th-grade reading proficiency rate is higher than the state average, its overall math, reading, and science proficiency rates lag behind. The school's graduation rate has been relatively high, but its dropout rate has been increasing in recent years. Performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students outperforming males and African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, struggling to meet state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Fisher Secondary school has a similar racial makeup but lower academic performance overall. Additionally, East Grand Forks Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, and the growing percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests the school may be facing increasing socioeconomic challenges that could impact academic outcomes and student well-being.

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.
