Red Wing Senior High

Summary:

Red Wing Senior High is a public high school serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 866 students in Red Wing, Minnesota. The school is part of the Lake City Public School District, which is ranked 312 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, Red Wing Senior High has a relatively diverse student population, with 75.98% White, 8.31% Hispanic, and 4.5% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking ranging from 72 to 289 out of 480 Minnesota high schools. While the school's four-year graduation rate is generally higher than nearby schools, ranging from 87.8% to 93.3%, its dropout rate has also been higher, ranging from 1.2% to 8.6%. Additionally, Red Wing Senior High has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 22.15% to 36.61%, which is higher than the nearby schools.

These findings suggest that Red Wing Senior High may be facing challenges in maintaining a consistently high level of academic achievement, addressing racial and socioeconomic disparities, and keeping up with the academic performance of nearby schools like Lincoln Secondary, Goodhue Secondary, and Tower View Alternative High School. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school to improve and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
