Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center

Summary:

Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Fridley Public School District in Fridley, Minnesota, with a diverse student population of 83 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small size, Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center faces significant challenges. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Minnesota, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) are alarmingly low, with 0% proficiency in reading and only 5.26% proficiency in math for all grades. The school also struggles with high dropout rates, reaching as high as 28.5% in 2017-2018, and low graduation rates, ranging from 30.9% to 50.0% over the past five years. These issues are compounded by the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 86.75% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When compared to other high schools in the Fridley Public School District and surrounding areas, Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center stands out as the lowest-performing. For example, Fridley Senior High, also in the Fridley Public School District, has significantly higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and overall performance. However, the school does rank relatively higher (3 out of 5 stars) for its English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroup, suggesting that it may be providing more targeted support for these students.

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.
