Farmington High School

Summary:

Farmington High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Farmington, Minnesota, with a total enrollment of 2,201 students. The school is part of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, which is ranked 267 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Farmington High School has a predominantly white student population, with 75.51% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average of 49.85%. Academically, the school's performance on MCA-III tests is below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.67% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.99%. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.0%, its dropout rate has been increasing, reaching 2.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Farmington High School also has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 21.63%, compared to the state average.

Farmington High School's academic performance and student demographics differ significantly from the nearby schools in the Lakeville Area School District and the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. These districts generally have higher-performing schools with more diverse student populations and lower rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. Farmington High School's challenges in serving the needs of underrepresented student groups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, suggest that the school may need to address achievement gaps and improve its support for these populations.

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.
