Zumbro Area Learning Center

Summary:

Zumbro Area Learning Center is a public high school located in Kasson, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school is part of the Zumbro Education District and has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Minnesota high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking.

Zumbro Area Learning Center faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, with 0% proficiency in math for 11th grade and all grades, 17.39% proficiency in reading for 10th grade, and only 6.67% proficiency in science for all grades. The school also has a high dropout rate, ranging from 2.6% to 13.5% over the past five years, and a low four-year graduation rate, ranging from 23.6% to 56.6%, well below the state average. Additionally, 74.03% of Zumbro Area Learning Center's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as John Marshall Senior High, Pine Island Secondary, and Kasson-Mantorville Senior High, which generally have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

While Zumbro Area Learning Center has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (14.29%) compared to the surrounding schools, the school's small size, with only 77 students, and its specialized focus on serving at-risk and alternative education students may be contributing factors to its low academic performance and high dropout rates. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting the unique needs of the school's students and community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
