The school has shown strong academic performance, ranking 119 out of 480 Minnesota high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Two Harbors Secondary's performance on MCA-III assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in reading and science, with 50% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in reading compared to 45.92% for the district and 52.22% for the state. However, the school's math performance lags behind, with only 27.07% of all students proficient or better, compared to 35.64% for the district and 45.47% for the state. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.4% to 95.9% over the past five years, and a dropout rate lower than the state average.

While Two Harbors Secondary has maintained a strong academic performance, its statewide ranking has declined, suggesting the school may be facing increasing competition from other high-performing schools in the state. The school's significant increase in the percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may also have implications for resource allocation and support services. By addressing these challenges and focusing on equitable support for all student groups, the school can continue to provide a quality education and prepare its students for success.

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.
