Zumbro Area Learning Center

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Zumbro Area Learning Center is a public high school located in Kasson, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school is part of the Zumbro Education District and has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Minnesota high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking.

Zumbro Area Learning Center faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, with 0% proficiency in math for 11th grade and all grades, 17.39% proficiency in reading for 10th grade, and only 6.67% proficiency in science for all grades. The school also has a high dropout rate, ranging from 2.6% to 13.5% over the past five years, and a low four-year graduation rate, ranging from 23.6% to 56.6%, well below the state average. Additionally, 74.03% of Zumbro Area Learning Center's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as John Marshall Senior High, Pine Island Secondary, and Kasson-Mantorville Senior High, which generally have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

While Zumbro Area Learning Center has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (14.29%) compared to the surrounding schools, the school's small size, with only 77 students, and its specialized focus on serving at-risk and alternative education students may be contributing factors to its low academic performance and high dropout rates. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting the unique needs of the school's students and community.
