Lanesboro Secondary

Summary:

Lanesboro Secondary is a public high school in Lanesboro, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 183 students. The school is part of the Lanesboro Public School District, which is ranked 213 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lanesboro Secondary stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 95.6% to 100% over the past five years, outperforming the state average. However, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 10th-grade students scoring above the state average in reading but below the state and district averages in math and science. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.72%) compared to nearby schools, such as Lewiston-Altura Secondary, Spring Grove Secondary, and Chatfield Secondary, which have more diverse student populations.

Another area of concern is the growing socioeconomic disparity within Lanesboro Secondary, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 16.3% in 2020-2021 to 34.43% in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in supporting students from lower-income families, which could be contributing to the school's mixed academic performance. Additionally, Lanesboro Secondary's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, and its male students consistently outperform their female counterparts, indicating potential areas for improvement and targeted interventions.

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.
