Summary:
The International Falls School District in Minnesota is home to a single high school, Falls Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data analysis suggests that Falls Secondary is a relatively low-performing high school, with declining rankings, lower-than-average test scores, and higher dropout rates compared to the state average.
Falls Secondary had a 84.2% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school also had a 4.4% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. In terms of academic performance, Falls Secondary consistently underperformed the state averages in math and science proficiency, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.61% to 31.25% in math and 16.33% to 29.31% in science, compared to the state averages of 34.96% to 45.21% and 39.56% to 43.47%, respectively. However, the school's 10th-grade reading proficiency rate of 56.34% did exceed the state average of 51.26%.
The high percentage of students (40.73%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Falls Secondary suggests that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance. While the school's overall performance is below the state average, there may be opportunities for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could be beneficial in helping the school and its students achieve better outcomes.
