Plymouth Youth Center

Summary:

Plymouth Youth Center is a small public high school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 94 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 322 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Plymouth Youth Center faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to nearby schools and the district average. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (76.6%) than the surrounding area, and its four-year graduation rates have ranged from just 12.5% to 18.1% over the past five years, which are significantly lower than the nearby North High and Minneapolis Academy & Career Center. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 10.9% to 28.5%, and consistently scores 0% proficient or better on state standardized tests, far below the district and state averages.

These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage, as well as a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 30.9 to 94 students per teacher. While the nearby schools also face challenges, they generally outperform Plymouth Youth Center, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students at Plymouth Youth Center.

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.
