Summary:
The Riverway Learning Community Charter district in Minnesota is home to a single high school, Riverway Secondary, which serves a small student population of 66 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, below-average graduation rates, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Riverway Secondary's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.09% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.99%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 72.7% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 9.0% is higher, indicating that the school may struggle to support students in successfully completing their high school education.
The high percentage of students (69.7%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Riverway Secondary serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic and other performance issues observed. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with relatively low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, which may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse society.
