Summary:
The Madelia Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single high school, Madelia Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has been ranked between 206 and 237 out of 450-480 Minnesota high schools over the past three school years and has a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average to slightly above-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Madelia Secondary has faced some challenges in recent years, with its academic performance declining. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments were below the state averages in both math and reading across all grade levels. The school's math proficiency rates ranged from 23.53% to 27.12%, compared to the state average of 34.96% to 45.21%, while its reading proficiency rates ranged from 23.53% to 53.19%, compared to the state average of 46.19% to 51.26%. Additionally, the school had a relatively high dropout rate of 4.4% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in Madelia Secondary's academic performance, as the school had a 47.75% free and reduced-price lunch rate in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year was also slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be struggling to provide the necessary resources and support to help all of its students succeed academically.
