High Schools in Faribault Public School District

The Faribault Public School District in Minnesota is home to three high schools: Faribault Senior High, Faribault Area Learning Center, and Falcons Online Academy-High School. While the district maintains similar graduation and dropout rates across all three schools, there are notable differences in their academic performance and school rankings.

Faribault Senior High, the largest school with 961 students, has the highest statewide ranking among the three, though it is still ranked relatively low (370th out of 450 Minnesota high schools). The school's graduation rate is 84.2%, and its dropout rate is 4.4%. However, its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is significantly below the state averages in both math and reading. In contrast, Faribault Area Learning Center, the smallest school with only 99 students, has the lowest statewide ranking (439th out of 450) and the lowest academic performance, with 0% proficiency in math and very low proficiency in reading.

The third high school, Falcons Online Academy-High School, with 72 students, does not have a statewide ranking or rating available. However, it maintains the same graduation rate (84.2%) and dropout rate (4.4%) as the other two schools. The data provided does not include information about the school's academic performance. Across the district, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges.
