Summary:

Mankato East Senior High is a public high school serving 1,293 students in grades 9-12 in Mankato, Minnesota. The school is part of the Mankato Public School District, which is ranked 121 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Mankato East has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby Mankato West Senior High, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. However, Mankato East's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than Mankato West. The school also has slightly lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates. Additionally, Mankato East has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 41.61%, compared to 31.56% at Mankato West.

Mankato East's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 98 out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 158 out of 480 in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students ranking 66 out of 109 Minnesota high schools, but Hispanic students ranking 20 out of 145. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps for certain subgroups. Compared to the nearby St. Clair Secondary and the Kato Public Charter School, Mankato East faces unique challenges in serving its diverse student population and maintaining its academic performance.

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.
