Summary:
The Pine Island Public School District has a single high school, Pine Island Secondary, serving grades 9-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from 78th out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 246th out of 450 in the projected 2024-2025 school year, suggesting the school may be facing some challenges.
Pine Island Secondary's academic performance is mixed, with the school's overall proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science generally above the state averages, but lower proficiency rates for specific grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.4% is higher than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.7 in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the state average, which may indicate a need to evaluate staffing levels and class sizes.
Despite the school's declining statewide ranking, Pine Island Secondary serves a relatively affluent population, with only 16.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which is lower than the state average. To better understand the school's performance and identify areas for improvement, further analysis of student growth metrics, college and career readiness indicators, and the school's programs and resource allocation would be beneficial.
