In contrast, MMSA Secondary School, a public charter school, has the lowest statewide ranking, with a rank between 420-447 out of 450-480 Minnesota high schools. Its test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages, particularly in math, where only 2.63% of 11th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34.96%. However, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, which could be a strength. The data also reveals that the smaller schools, such as Quora Secondary School and East View Academy, have the lowest statewide rankings and some of the poorest academic outcomes, suggesting the need for further investigation into the challenges faced by smaller public schools in the area.
