Lakeville Pathways Academy

Summary:

Lakeville Area Learning Center is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Lakeville, Minnesota, with a relatively small student population of 57. The school is part of the Lakeville Area Schools district, which is ranked 98 out of 448 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a well-regarded district, Lakeville Area Learning Center consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Minnesota high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, and it has experienced high dropout rates ranging from 9% to 30% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate is around 50-55%, much lower than the district and state averages.

Lakeville Area Learning Center has a more diverse student population compared to the other high schools in the district, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and Native American students. The school also has a high percentage of students (over 60%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. These factors may contribute to the school's declining academic performance, widening achievement gap, and unique challenges faced by its diverse student population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the specific needs and circumstances of the school and its 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.
