Summary:
The New London-Spicer School District in Minnesota is home to two high schools: New London-Spicer Senior High School and New London Alternative School. While both schools serve the same district, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.
New London-Spicer Senior High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota high schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic excellence is reflected in its strong test scores, with 11th-grade students outperforming both the district and state averages in MCA-III Math, and 10th-grade students exceeding the district and state averages in MCA-III Reading. Additionally, the school boasts an impressive 84.2% four-year graduation rate.
In contrast, New London Alternative School serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with over 53% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to just 22.5% at the senior high school. However, the alternative school's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4 suggests a greater focus on individualized attention and support for its students.
