Summary:

Crookston Secondary is a public high school in Crookston, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 547 students. The school is part of the Crookston Public School District, which is ranked 196 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crookston Secondary stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 64.53% White, 20.84% Hispanic, and 7.68% Native American students. Academically, the school's performance on MCA-III tests is generally on par with or slightly below state averages, but it outperforms the nearby Climax Secondary across most subject areas and grade levels. However, Crookston Secondary's graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 77.2% to 84.0%, and its dropout rate has varied from 7.2% to 12.5%, which are generally higher than the nearby Lafayette Secondary.

Another notable aspect of Crookston Secondary is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.07% to 55.03%, which is higher than the nearby Fisher Secondary (51.09%) and Lafayette Secondary (32.1%). This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's academic performance and other outcomes, and should be considered when evaluating its overall effectiveness.

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.

Open Quote It's certainly not the best school in the world. The students don't participate in assignments much and textbooks are old. The teachers limit students (my opinion) only to nearby colleges and I think, that is the worst part of this school. The teachers are not so "top class." They're just average Close Quote

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.
