Summary:
ZIP code 56442 contains just one high school: Crosslake Community 6-12 Online, a charter online school serving grades 6–12 with 311 students in the Crosslake Community Charter School district. Because it is the only high school in the area, there is no local peer school to compare it with, so the most useful benchmarks are the school's own district and Minnesota state averages.
The school's academic results are well below state levels in most areas. All-grade math proficiency is 7.9%, compared with 44.9% statewide, and science is 7.7% against 25.5% statewide. Reading is the relative strength at 35.4%, though still below the state's 48.6%; eighth-grade reading at 50% matches the state average and is the clearest bright spot. Every reported math grade level trails both district and state figures, with sixth-grade math at 0%. Completion outcomes also lag: the graduation rate is 64.2% versus 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate is 13.6% versus 4.2% — more than three times the state rate. Enrollment context includes 49.52% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 17.3.
The school has ranked in the bottom quartile for three straight years — 12th to 16th percentile with 1-star ratings — and the district sits at the 22nd percentile. There are signs of year-over-year improvement from a very low base: math rose from 2.63% to 7.9%, reading from 28.57% to 35.4%, and science from 7.14% to 7.7%. Families should note these gains come with the caveat that the reading exam label differs between years, and that all subjects remain below district and state averages.
