High Schools in Little Falls Community Schools

The Little Falls Community Schools district in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Little Falls Senior High and Little Falls Continuing Education. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, the data reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance and overall school rankings.

Little Falls Senior High consistently outperforms the other school, with higher rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. The school has been ranked between 257 and 301 out of 450-480 Minnesota high schools in the past three years, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Little Falls Continuing Education has been ranked between 410 and 441, with a 0-1 star rating. Both schools have a 84.2% four-year graduation rate, but Little Falls Senior High consistently outperforms the district and state in proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments.

The data also reveals potential factors that may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools. Little Falls Continuing Education has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 63.81% compared to 40.44% at Little Falls Senior High, as well as a higher student-teacher ratio of 21 to 15.6. These differences suggest that the Little Falls Community Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the performance gap and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
