Summary:

Nevis Secondary is a public high school located in Nevis, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 264 students. The school is part of the Nevis Public School District, which is ranked 85 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nevis Secondary consistently performs above the state average in MCA-III proficiency rates across Math, Reading, and Science subjects. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.0% to 90.4% over the past five years, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, with a relatively small percentage of minority students, which may present challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience. Additionally, while Nevis Secondary has shown strong performance for male students and special education students, the school's performance for female students and low socioeconomic status students has been more variable, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Menahga High School, Laporte Secondary, and Park Rapids Senior High, Nevis Secondary consistently outperforms in MCA-III proficiency rates and has a higher four-year graduation rate. However, Park Rapids Senior High has shown stronger academic performance in some areas, particularly in Science. Additionally, Nevis Secondary has a higher percentage of white students compared to the nearby schools, which have a more 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.
