Summary:

Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Ulen-Hitterdal Public School District, with a student population of 126 in the predominantly White community of Ulen, Minnesota. The school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong academic performance on state assessments, particularly in reading and math.

Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 86.3% to 96.5% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average and comparable to nearby schools like Ada-Borup-West Secondary (96.0%) and Hawley Secondary (90.9%).

On state assessments, Ulen-Hitterdal students have demonstrated proficiency rates in MCA-III reading and math that exceed the state averages and several nearby schools.

While the school's student population is predominantly White, it has seen an increase in racial diversity, with the percentage of students identifying as two or more races rising from 5.59% in 2020-2021 to 11.9% in 2022-2023. However, the school's overall performance, as measured by the SchoolDigger ranking system, has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 4 stars (out of 5) to a low of 2 stars in recent years. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of different student populations to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes.

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.
