Summary

Lake Of The Woods Secondary is a public high school located in Baudette, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 230 students. The school is part of the Lake Of The Woods School District, which is ranked 338 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lake Of The Woods Secondary consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for MCA-III Math and Reading assessments across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in MCA-III Math for 11th grade was 10%, compared to the state average of 34.96%. The school's performance in MCA-III Science is also significantly lower than the state average, with only 20% proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year compared to the state's 43.47%. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 83.3% to 94.8%, which is generally lower than the state average, and the dropout rate has been higher than the state average, ranging from 4.4% to 5.8% in recent years.

The school's declining academic performance, as measured by MCA-III assessments, has resulted in a concerning downward trend in the school's ranking within the state, from 141 out of 494 Minnesota high schools in 2017-2018 to 373 out of 450 in 2024-2025. This decline in academic performance is reflected in the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school faces challenges, the district and school leadership have an opportunity to identify and address the root causes of these issues, potentially through targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community engagement strategies to improve educational outcomes for its students.
