Rosemount Area Learning Center

Summary:

Rosemount Area Learning Center is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district, with a relatively small student population of 164 students. The school has a diverse student body, with a racial makeup of 28.05% White, 22.56% African American, 31.71% Hispanic, 1.22% Asian, 0.61% Native American, and 15.85% two or more races.

Despite its diversity, Rosemount Area Learning Center consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Minnesota, with rankings between 425-489 out of 472-534 high schools over the past decade. The school has struggled with low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 30.6% to 44.4% over the past 5 years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 10.1% to 20.4% during the same period. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are extremely low, with 0% proficiency in math and only 8.33% proficiency in reading for the 2023-2024 school year.

In comparison, nearby high-performing schools like Eagan Senior High and School of Environmental Studies within the same Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district have much higher graduation rates, proficiency rates, and lower dropout rates. The challenges faced by Rosemount Area Learning Center appear to be multifaceted, involving a combination of student demographics, resource constraints, and ineffective instructional practices, which have led to a decline in the school's performance over the past decade.

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.
