MACCRAY Secondary

Summary:

MACCRAY Secondary is a public high school in Clara City, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 366 students. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate compared to nearby schools, it faces some academic performance challenges.

MACCRAY Secondary has a significantly higher percentage of White students (78.14%) compared to nearby schools like Willmar Area Learning Center (24.77% White) and Montevideo Senior High (72.02% White). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, with proficiency rates in Math (36.28%), Reading (47.86%), and Science (28.44%) all below the state averages.

While MACCRAY Secondary has a relatively high four-year graduation rate (94.1% to 96.5%) and lower dropout rates than the state average, its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 217 out of 428 Minnesota high schools in 2020-2021 to 309 out of 480 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic, special education, and low socioeconomic status students performing much lower than their peers. Addressing these achievement gaps and improving the school's overall academic outcomes should be a priority for the MACCRAY School District.

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.
