Summary:

Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High is a public high school serving 391 students in grades 9-12 in Zumbrota, Minnesota. The school is part of the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District, which is ranked 26th out of 463 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High has a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the racial diversity seen in nearby schools like Byron Senior High and Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High. The school has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 20-30% of Minnesota high schools in recent years, and maintaining high four-year graduation rates ranging from 92.8% to 96.2% over the past five years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from around 12% in 2020-2021 to 24.3% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of students from lower-income families.

While Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High generally outperforms the nearby Zumbro Area Learning Center, which serves a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, it lags behind schools like Byron Senior High and Pine Island Secondary in terms of academic performance and statewide rankings. The school's fluctuating rankings and growing socioeconomic diversity suggest the need to closely monitor and address any emerging performance gaps to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
