Wabasha-Kellogg School District

The Wabasha-Kellogg School District in Minnesota operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district's performance varies, with some schools standing out for their strong academic achievements.

Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary, a high school, consistently ranks higher than other schools in the district, with a statewide rank between 54-217 over the past 3 years and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school has higher proficiency rates in math and reading compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grade, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2. Meanwhile, Wabasha-Kellogg Elementary has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 576th out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 431st out of 872 in 2024-2025, and also has higher proficiency rates in math and reading compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 6th grades, with a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.1.

In contrast, the virtual schools, Falcon View Connections High School and Falcon View Connections Middle, consistently underperform the district and state averages in academic proficiency. The 4-year graduation rate for Falcon View Connections High School and Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary is 84.2%, slightly below the state average, and the dropout rate for these schools is 4.4%, higher than the state average. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the virtual schools suggests they may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could impact their academic outcomes.
