Plymouth Youth Center

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Plymouth Youth Center is a small public high school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 94 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 322 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Plymouth Youth Center faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to nearby schools and the district average. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (76.6%) than the surrounding area, and its four-year graduation rates have ranged from just 12.5% to 18.1% over the past five years, which are significantly lower than the nearby North High and Minneapolis Academy & Career Center. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 10.9% to 28.5%, and consistently scores 0% proficient or better on state standardized tests, far below the district and state averages.

These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage, as well as a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 30.9 to 94 students per teacher. While the nearby schools also face challenges, they generally outperform Plymouth Youth Center, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students at Plymouth Youth Center.
