Summary

Worthington Senior High is a public high school in Worthington, Minnesota, serving 1,123 students in grades 9-12. Over the past several years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Worthington Senior High faces significant challenges in academic performance, with students consistently underperforming the state and district averages on standardized tests in math, reading, and science. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, who rank in the bottom 25% of Minnesota high schools in these categories. Additionally, the school has a lower-than-average 4-year graduation rate and a higher-than-average dropout rate.

Interestingly, the other schools in the Worthington Public School District also perform poorly on academic measures compared to state averages, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. However, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Adrian Secondary and Fulda Secondary, perform significantly better on standardized tests and have higher graduation rates, indicating that the challenges at Worthington Senior High may be specific to the school or district.
