Apple Valley Senior High

Summary:

Apple Valley Senior High is a public high school serving 1,893 students in grades 9-12 in Apple Valley, Minnesota, which is part of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Eastview Senior High has a larger but less diverse student population and consistently outperforms Apple Valley Senior High on MCA-III tests and has higher graduation rates. Additionally, Apple Valley Senior High has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. The school's racial diversity and the performance disparities among different student subgroups suggest that the school may need to address equity and inclusion issues to improve overall academic outcomes.

Despite these challenges, Apple Valley Senior High's diverse student population is a unique asset. The school's leadership and the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district should closely examine the factors contributing to the school's declining academic performance and disparities in subgroup performance, and develop targeted strategies to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for all 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.
