Summary:
The Mountain Lake Public Schools district in Minnesota contains a single high school, Mountain Lake Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 163 out of 450 schools in 2024-2025 to 264 out of 476 schools in 2022-2023, suggesting it may be underperforming compared to other high schools in Minnesota.
While Mountain Lake Secondary outperforms the state average in Math proficiency for 11th and 7th grades, it significantly underperforms in 8th grade and overall. The school also consistently underperforms the state average in Reading proficiency across all grade levels. With over 56% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to its academic performance.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.3 is relatively low, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the data suggests that Mountain Lake Secondary should prioritize improving its Math and Reading instruction and outcomes, particularly in the middle grades, to address its declining statewide ranking and better serve its student population.
