St. Clair Secondary

Summary:

St. Clair Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the St. Clair Public School District in Saint Clair, Minnesota, with a student population of 386 and located approximately 8-9 miles from several other high schools in the Mankato area.

St. Clair Secondary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.3%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the state averages and the surrounding schools, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science all below the state and district averages. However, the school has maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 94.2% to 100% over the past few years, and low dropout rates, mostly at 0% except for a spike to 3.8% in 2020-2021. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 120 out of 483 Minnesota high schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 368 out of 472 in 2021-2022, with a current ranking of 296 out of 480 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at St. Clair Secondary has increased from 11.61% in 2021-2022 to 26.68% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from lower-income families. When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, the school ranks higher for low socioeconomic status students (134 out of 393 in 2022-2023) compared to its overall ranking, but lower for white students (352 out of 398 in 2022-2023). Compared to nearby schools, such as Kato Public Charter School, Central High Area Learning Center, and Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Secondary, St. Clair Secondary generally outperforms them in academic achievement and school rankings, but lags behind larger public high schools in the Mankato area, such as Mankato West Senior High and Mankato East Senior High.

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.
