Frazee Secondary

Summary:

Frazee Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Detroit Lakes Public School District, with a student population of 391 located in Frazee, Minnesota. While the school has a predominantly White student body, it has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 106 out of 483 Minnesota high schools in 2013-2014 to 379 out of 480 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year.

Frazee Secondary consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in Math (21.64%) and Reading (31.01%) for all grades significantly lower than the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively. The school has also experienced fluctuations in its four-year graduation rate, ranging from a high of 100% in 2017-2018 to a low of 78.3% in 2020-2021, and a concerning dropout rate that reached 13.2% in 2020-2021. Additionally, the percentage of Frazee Secondary students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 27.23% in 2021-2022 to 45.27% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Perham Senior High and Detroit Lakes Senior High, Frazee Secondary lags significantly in academic performance. The school's ranking for special education students (211 out of 220 in 2018-2019) and low-socioeconomic status students (309 out of 389 in 2023-2024) suggests that these vulnerable populations may require additional support and targeted interventions to improve their academic outcomes.

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.
