High Schools in Mora Public Schools

The Mora Public School District in Minnesota operates two high schools: Mora Secondary and Mora Alternative Learning Center. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide educational opportunities in the Mora community.

Mora Secondary appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings with a current ranking of 111 out of 450 Minnesota high schools and a 4-star rating. In contrast, Mora Alternative Learning Center has consistently ranked much lower, with a ranking of 411 out of 492 Minnesota high schools and a 1-star rating. Both schools had a 84.2% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, but Mora Secondary outperformed the district and state averages in most MCA-III test subjects and grade levels, particularly in reading.

The data analysis suggests that while Mora Secondary is a strong-performing high school, Mora Alternative Learning Center faces significant challenges in student outcomes and performance. The stark differences in performance and demographics between the two high schools within the same district raise questions about equity and the distribution of resources and support, which may be an important focus for the Mora Public School District to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
