Summary:
The 56072 zip code is home to a single public high school, Nrheg Secondary, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 434 students. While the school's 84.2% four-year graduation rate is respectable, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state average in math, reading, and science proficiency.
Nrheg Secondary's math proficiency rates range from 20-32%, significantly lower than the state average of 34.96-45.21%. Reading proficiency rates, while closer to the state average of 45.97-54.13%, still fall short at 37.74-51.11%. Science proficiency rates are also below the state average, ranging from 27.27-37.25% compared to 30.34-43.47%. Additionally, the school's 4.4% dropout rate is higher than desired.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic challenges, as 41.94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Nrheg Secondary's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 233 and 343 out of 450-480 Minnesota high schools in recent years, with a 2-star rating out of 5. The Nrheg School District, which Nrheg Secondary is a part of, is also ranked 254 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and is rated 2 stars out of 5, suggesting that the district-level performance may be an area of concern as well.
