MPS Online 6-12

Summary:

MPS Online 6-12 is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in the Minneapolis Public School District, with an enrollment of 320 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's diverse student population includes 49.06% African American, 17.19% White, 11.25% Hispanic, 5.62% Asian, and 9.06% Native American students.

Despite its diverse student body, MPS Online 6-12 has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 0% proficiency in Math and only 17.39% proficiency in Reading across all grades in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 165th out of 539 Minnesota high schools in 2011-2012 to 431st out of 480 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has struggled with low graduation rates, with a four-year graduation rate of only 58.3% in 2021-2022, compared to the district average of 73.1% for North High. The high dropout rates, ranging from 10.5% to 20.8% over the past five years, are also a significant concern.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Minneapolis Public School District, such as North High and the Plymouth Youth Center, MPS Online 6-12 performs significantly worse on academic measures, including test scores and graduation rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by students in a virtual learning environment, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions and additional resources to support the unique needs of the school's diverse student population.

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.
