Mora Secondary stands out for its strong academic performance, ranking 119 out of 476 Minnesota high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading assessments are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in the 7th and 8th grade levels. Additionally, Mora Secondary has maintained impressive graduation rates, with a 4-year graduation rate of 88.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, with a 4.6% dropout rate in the 2021-2022 school year, lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hinckley-Finlayson Secondary and Ogilvie Secondary, Mora Secondary performs better academically.

Despite this, Mora Secondary has done well in supporting its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations, with these subgroups ranking higher than the state averages in terms of academic performance and graduation rates.

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.
