South Campus Education Center

Public Grades 5-12

Summary

South Campus Education Center is a public high school located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 60 students. The school is part of the White Bear Lake School District.

Despite being part of the White Bear Lake school system, South Campus Education Center has struggled significantly in recent years. The school has had extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 0% to 9%, which is much lower than the state average and nearby schools like 916 Mahtomedi Academy, Gentry Academy High, and White Bear Area Learning Center. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 18.1%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, South Campus Education Center's performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is significantly below the state and district averages in reading, math, and science.

Factors that may be contributing to the school's poor performance include a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 10.71% to 51.67%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's small size, with only 60 students, may also be a factor. While the overall performance of South Campus Education Center is concerning, the school's ranking for special education students was relatively higher in the past, suggesting that the school may have been providing better support for this student population. The data suggests that South Campus Education Center has significant room for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to better outcomes for the students.
