Summary

Trio Wolf Creek Distance Learning is a public charter high school located in Chisago City, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 185 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trio Wolf Creek Distance Learning has struggled academically, with only 8.82% of students proficient in Math and 34.78% proficient in Reading in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59% respectively. The school has also faced challenges with low graduation rates, ranging from 49.3% to 84.2% over the past few years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 4.4% to 22.5%. These metrics are notably worse than the nearby North Lakes Academy Upper School, Forest Lake Area High School, and Chisago Lakes Senior High.

The school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 36.22% to 38.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, compared to the nearby schools. Additionally, Trio Wolf Creek Distance Learning has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.6 to 21.1 over the past few years, which may contribute to the academic and graduation challenges. The school's consistent underperformance and concerning metrics suggest that it may need to address these issues through targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving educational outcomes for its students.
