High Schools in Kelliher Public School District

Summary:

The Kelliher Public School District in Minnesota contains a single high school, Kelliher Secondary, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Kelliher Secondary appears to be a low-performing high school, ranking 345 out of 450 Minnesota high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kelliher Secondary's performance is below the state average across several key metrics. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.4% is slightly higher. Proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 17.24% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.96%. Additionally, Kelliher Secondary has a high percentage of students (67.3%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, which is better than the state average, Kelliher Secondary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Minnesota high schools over the past three school years. This suggests the school is facing significant challenges in providing effective instruction and support to help students achieve academic success, and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
