Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Sec

Summary:

Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Sec is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Janesville, Minnesota, with a student population of 349 and part of the Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton District, which is ranked 119 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has maintained high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.3% to 96.0% over the past 5 years, which is higher than the state average. However, its performance on MCA-III tests is mixed compared to the state and nearby schools, with the school struggling in math and science. The school also faces challenges in addressing the needs of its growing population of economically disadvantaged and special education students, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 19.89% in 2021-2022 to 34.96% in 2022-2023. Compared to nearby schools, Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Sec generally performs better than the Kato Public Charter School and Waseca Area Learning Center, but lags behind the larger, more diverse high schools like Mankato East Senior High and Waseca Senior High in terms of academic performance.

The school's racial makeup has become slightly more diverse over the past few years, with the percentage of white students decreasing from 95.45% in 2021-2022 to 91.98% in 2022-2023, indicating changing demographics in the local community. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 113 out of 483 Minnesota high schools in 2013-2014 (4 stars) to 225 out of 480 in 2023-2024 (3 stars), suggesting the school may be struggling to maintain its academic performance compared to other schools in the state.

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.
