McGregor Secondary

McGregor Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the McGregor Public School District in McGregor, Minnesota, with a total enrollment of 210 students. The school's performance has seen fluctuations in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 199 to 371 out of Minnesota high schools and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 1 to 3 stars out of 5.

Compared to the nearby Aitkin Secondary School, which has consistently ranked higher and maintained a 4 to 5-star rating, McGregor Secondary's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate has been relatively stable, ranging from 83.3% to 85.2% in recent years, while its dropout rate has also been consistent, ranging from 4.4% to 8.3%.

One interesting finding is that the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female and low-socioeconomic status (low-SES) students generally performing better than their male and white counterparts. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to support underperforming groups and ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Additionally, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (up to 62.96% in recent years), McGregor Secondary may need to carefully allocate resources and implement strategies to address the academic and social-emotional needs of its economically disadvantaged population.
