Kimball Secondary

Summary:

Kimball Secondary is a public high school located in Kimball, Minnesota, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 474 students. The school is part of the Annandale Public School District, which is ranked 124 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kimball Secondary consistently outperforms the state average in academic metrics, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science that are higher than the state averages. For example, the school's 11th grade Math proficiency rate was 50% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 34.99%. Kimball Secondary also maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.3% to 93.7% over the past five years, and has seen a significant decline in its dropout rate, from 8.7% in 2017-2018 to just 1.6% in 2021-2022. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, with over 94% of students identifying as such, which is lower in racial diversity compared to nearby schools like Technical Senior High in St. Cloud.

Kimball Secondary's strong academic performance and low dropout rates suggest that the school is providing a high-quality education to its students. However, the lack of racial diversity and the relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools, may present both challenges and opportunities for the school to further enhance the educational experience for its diverse student population.

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.
