Southland Public School District

Summary:

The Southland Public School District in Minnesota consists of three schools: Southland Elementary, Southland Senior High, and Southland Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Southland Senior High appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota high schools over the past three years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a low dropout rate of 4.4%. In contrast, Southland Elementary and Southland Middle have lower statewide rankings, with 2-star and 3-star ratings, respectively.

The data suggests a significant disparity in performance between the three schools. Southland Senior High outperforms the district and state averages in reading proficiency, while Southland Elementary and Southland Middle struggle with math proficiency. Additionally, Southland Elementary has a high free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
