Summary:
The Minnesota New Country School is the only high school located in this area. As a public charter school, it has struggled to meet the academic standards of other high schools in Minnesota, consistently ranking in the bottom half of the state's 450-480 high schools.
The school's performance on key metrics is concerning, with a four-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a dropout rate of 4.4%, both slightly worse than the state averages. Proficiency rates on the MCA-III math and reading tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels, with only 15.79% of 11th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 34.96%. Despite the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.9, it has been unable to translate this into strong academic outcomes for its students.
Overall, the Minnesota New Country School appears to be an underperforming high school in the Minnesota education system, with low rankings, poor test scores, and below-average graduation and dropout rates. Parents and education stakeholders in the area may want to closely examine the school's performance and consider alternative options for their children's high school education.
