New Heights School Inc.

Public, Charter Grades 6-12

Summary

New Heights School Inc. is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Stillwater, Minnesota, with a total enrollment of 111 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1, New Heights School Inc. consistently underperforms academically compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 11.54% of students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, and just 30% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in MCA-III Reading, significantly lower than the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 81.8% in 2020-2021 was also below the state average, and its dropout rate of 9% was notably higher. These academic struggles may be linked to the school's higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.56%, compared to nearby high-performing schools like Mahtomedi Senior High (13.84%) and Stillwater Area High School (19.49%).

When compared to other schools in the area, such as the highly-ranked St. Croix Preparatory Academy Upper, New Heights School Inc. lags significantly in academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population, which includes a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and improve educational outcomes for all learners.
