Tartan Senior High

Summary:

Tartan Senior High is a public high school located in Oakdale, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,683 students. The school is part of the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale School District, which is ranked 338 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tartan Senior High has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments compared to the state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading were higher than the district's, they were lower than the state's. The school's graduation rate has been relatively high, ranging from 80.9% to 87.7% over the past five years, but its dropout rate has also been higher than the state average. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students generally performing better on assessments and having higher rankings compared to their peers in the state, while African American, Hispanic, and students with special needs tend to have lower proficiency rates and rankings.

Tartan Senior High's academic performance is generally higher than that of its closest neighboring school, North Senior High, but it lags behind the performance of schools in other districts, such as Woodbury High School and Math and Science Academy, which consistently outperform Tartan Senior High and the state averages. The school has also experienced a gradual decline in its student population, which may have implications for its funding and resources, and its ability to support student learning and address the identified achievement gaps.

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.
