Summary

Floodwood Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the small town of Floodwood, Minnesota, with a total enrollment of 68 students. The school is part of the Floodwood Public School District, which is ranked 177 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Floodwood Secondary has consistently underperformed compared to other Minnesota high schools, ranking in the bottom half of the state for the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 81.8% to 93.3%, which is generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has been higher than the state average, ranging from 4.5% to 9.0%. Academically, Floodwood Secondary's proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) have been below the state and district averages in both reading and math.

Compared to the nearby South Ridge Secondary and Cromwell-Wright Secondary schools, Floodwood Secondary's performance is generally lower, with both of these schools having higher statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency rates. The school's small size, high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, and rural location may be contributing factors to its relatively low performance, and addressing these challenges could be key to improving outcomes for Floodwood Secondary students.
