Crow River Area Learning Center

Summary:

Crow River Area Learning Center is a small public high school in Hutchinson, Minnesota, serving just 20 students in grades 9-12. This school stands out from the nearby Hutchinson Senior High with its very low enrollment, high student-teacher ratio, and consistently low academic performance.

Despite having a more diverse student population than Hutchinson Senior High, Crow River Area Learning Center has struggled academically, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in Minnesota. Only 50% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 30.84% rate at Hutchinson Senior High. However, Crow River Area Learning Center has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 81.8%, compared to Hutchinson Senior High's 86.7% rate, and a 0.0% dropout rate, lower than Hutchinson Senior High's 6.4%.

The close proximity of just 0.01 miles between Crow River Area Learning Center and Hutchinson Senior High, the largest high school in the Hutchinson Public School District, suggests that the two schools may serve different student populations or have different educational approaches, despite being part of the same district.

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.
