South Campus Education Center

Summary:

South Campus Education Center is a public high school located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 60 students. The school is part of the White Bear Lake School District.

Despite being part of the White Bear Lake school system, South Campus Education Center has struggled significantly in recent years. The school has had extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 0% to 9%, which is much lower than the state average and nearby schools like 916 Mahtomedi Academy, Gentry Academy High, and White Bear Area Learning Center. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 18.1%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, South Campus Education Center's performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is significantly below the state and district averages in reading, math, and science.

Factors that may be contributing to the school's poor performance include a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 10.71% to 51.67%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's small size, with only 60 students, may also be a factor. While the overall performance of South Campus Education Center is concerning, the school's ranking for special education students was relatively higher in the past, suggesting that the school may have been providing better support for this student population. The data suggests that South Campus Education Center has significant room for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to better outcomes for the students.

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.
