6-12th Grade Building

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

The 6-12th Grade Building in Graceville, MN is a public high school serving 130 students in grades 6-12. It is part of the Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley school district and has a history of ranking in the middle to upper range among Minnesota high schools, with a current statewide rank of 157 out of 480 schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school stands out for its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.5 to 13.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Ortonville Secondary (12.2) and Chokio-Alberta Secondary (10.5) schools. Additionally, the 6-12th Grade Building has maintained a high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.7% to 100% over the past few years, on par with or slightly higher than the nearby Ortonville Secondary (84.2%) and Chokio-Alberta Secondary (84.2%) schools. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 4.5%, comparable to the nearby Ortonville Secondary (4.4%) and Chokio-Alberta Secondary (4.4%) schools.

While the school's performance on MCA-III tests is mixed compared to the state and nearby district averages, with some subject areas and grade levels performing well and others lagging behind, the 6-12th Grade Building has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the years, with its statewide rank and star rating remaining in the middle to upper range. This suggests a stable educational environment, and the school's lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (26.92%) compared to the nearby Ortonville Secondary (40%) and Chokio-Alberta Secondary (37.33%) schools may indicate differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations.
