Sunrise Park Area Learning Center

Summary:

Sunrise Park Area Learning Center is a middle school located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the White Bear Lake School District, which is ranked 231 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunrise Park Area Learning Center faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low test scores, poor statewide rankings, and a high-poverty, diverse student population. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Minnesota, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in Math and only 5.33% proficiency in Reading for all grades, significantly lower than the district and state averages. This is in stark contrast to other middle schools in the area, such as Central Middle and Sunrise Park Middle, which have higher proficiency rates, better statewide rankings, and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's diverse student population and high poverty rates, with 63.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the low academic performance, as these factors are often associated with additional challenges in providing effective educational support and resources. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and collaboration with the district and community to support the school's students and improve their educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
