Summary:
The Laporte Public School District in Minnesota has only one high school, Laporte Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and rating, has been relatively low compared to other Minnesota high schools, consistently ranking in the bottom half of the state's high schools and maintaining a 1- or 2-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale.
Academically, Laporte Secondary struggles, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading significantly below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 19.23% for 11th grade, compared to the state average of 34.96%, and its Reading proficiency rate was 48% for 10th grade, compared to the state average of 51.26%. The school's graduation rate of 84.2% and dropout rate of 4.4% in the 2023-2024 school year also indicate room for improvement.
Demographic factors may play a role in Laporte Secondary's challenges, as the school serves a student population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, with 56.88% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 21.9 is relatively high, which could impact the level of individualized attention and support available to students. While the data suggests Laporte Secondary is a low-performing high school, further investigation into the specific factors influencing its performance could help identify areas for improvement and support.
