Summary:
The La Crescent-Hokah School District in Minnesota is home to a single public high school, La Crescent Senior High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 369 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 204 out of 446 school districts in the state and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the performance of La Crescent Senior High has been declining in recent years.
La Crescent Senior High's statewide ranking has dropped from 264 out of 450 high schools in 2024-2025 to 340 out of 476 high schools in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 2 stars to 1 star over the same period. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science falling below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.38% of students were proficient or better in Math, and 54.76% were proficient or better in Reading.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role in the school's challenges, as 21.14% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.3 in the same year suggests that class sizes may be a contributing factor as well. While the performance of La Crescent Senior High is concerning, it is important to note that the district's overall performance is also below the state average, indicating that the school's challenges may be reflective of broader regional factors.
