Ortonville Secondary

Summary:

Ortonville Secondary is a public high school in Ortonville, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 233 students. The school is part of the Ortonville Public Schools district, which is ranked 151 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ortonville Secondary has a predominantly white student population, with 89.27% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 97.0% in 2017-2018 to 87.5% in 2021-2022, and an increase in its dropout rate, from 0.0% to 2.5% during the same period. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students and white students generally outperforming their peers in other racial/ethnic groups, and special education and low socioeconomic status students ranking in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as 6-12th Grade Building, Big Stone Colony High School, and Lismore Colony Senior High School, Ortonville Secondary has a larger student population and a more homogeneous racial makeup. However, these nearby schools generally outperform Ortonville Secondary on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics, such as instructional quality, school culture, and resource allocation, may play a significant role in student success.

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.
