A.C.G.C. Secondary

Summary:

A.C.G.C. Secondary is a public high school located in Grove City, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 379 students. The school is part of the A.C.G.C. Public School District, which is ranked 182 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A.C.G.C. Secondary has a predominantly white student population, with 84.43% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools like Willmar Senior High (42.73% white) and DREAM Technical Academy (47.37% white). However, the school has consistently performed well on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science compared to the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, 58.18% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Reading, compared to the state average of 52.22%. Additionally, A.C.G.C. Secondary has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.2% to 100% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the 81.8% four-year graduation rate at Willmar Senior High.

The school's lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50.92% in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like DREAM Technical Academy (76.84%) and Willmar Senior High (62.66%) suggests the school may serve a more affluent student population. This could have implications for resource allocation and support for students from lower-income families. Overall, A.C.G.C. Secondary appears to be a high-performing school, but the lack of racial diversity and potential socioeconomic disparities may warrant further investigation and targeted efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment.

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.
