Summary:
Kalon Prep Academy is the sole high school serving grades 9-12 in the Kalon Prep Academy district, located in Alexandria, Minnesota. With a total enrollment of 135 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking 307 out of 450 Minnesota high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Kalon Prep Academy struggles, with proficiency rates well below the state average in math (22.73%), reading (38.71%), and science (16.67%). The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.4% is higher. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (52.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the low academic performance, Kalon Prep Academy maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which could suggest a focus on providing more individualized attention to students. However, the combination of poor test scores, high dropout rates, and declining school rankings raises concerns about the overall quality of education and the school's ability to effectively serve its students.
