North Senior High has a higher percentage of Asian, African American, and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Mahtomedi Public School District's 916 Mahtomedi Academy and Passages Transition Program. However, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 75.5% and 85.7% over the past five years, and its dropout rate has ranged from 3.4% to 5.1%. These rates are generally better than the 38% graduation rate and 16% dropout rate at 916 Mahtomedi Academy in 2021-2022.

North Senior High's performance on the MCA-III assessments is lower than the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district and Minnesota state averages, with proficiency rates in Math (16.13%), Reading (42.53%), and Science (29.3%) all below the state and district. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.9% to 65.18% over the past three years, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.

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.
