Summary:
The Bertha-Hewitt Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single high school, Bertha Secondary, which serves 220 students from grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with 90% White, 0.91% African American, 2.27% Hispanic, 0.45% Native American, and 6.36% two or more races. However, a significant portion (55.45%) of the students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Bertha Secondary has mixed performance compared to state averages. While the school's reading proficiency rates are close to the state average, its math and science proficiency rates are below the state's. The school's four-year graduation rate of 94.1% is above the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.9% is lower than the state's. However, the school's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past three years, ranging from 225th out of 476 Minnesota high schools to 271st out of 480, with a rating of 2 to 3 stars out of 5.
Overall, Bertha Secondary faces challenges in addressing the academic needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, particularly in math and science. The school's inconsistent performance and ranking suggest that the district and school leadership may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to support student learning and achievement.
