Spring Grove Secondary

Summary:

Spring Grove Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 157 students in Spring Grove, Minnesota, which is part of the Mabel-Canton Public School District.

The school has several notable characteristics, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.27%) compared to the state average, consistently high 4-year graduation rates ranging from 92% to 100% over the past 5 years, and a 0% dropout rate during the same period. However, the school's performance on MCA-III tests is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 10th grade reading proficiency, and others where it lags behind the state and district averages, like 8th grade math and science proficiency. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 17.14% in 2020-2021 to 30.57% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lanesboro Secondary, Rushford-Peterson Senior High, and Caledonia Senior High, Spring Grove Secondary's performance and rankings have fluctuated significantly over the past 10 years, ranging from 57th to 251st out of Minnesota high schools. This suggests that factors beyond just student population may be at play in the school's academic outcomes. Additionally, the presence of Minnesota Virtual Academy High, a public virtual school within the Houston Public School District, provides an interesting contrast, with lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to traditional brick-and-mortar schools in the area.

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.
