The School Grade

What’s behind Menahga’s grade

B Test scoresB Graduation

B+: better than 65% of Minnesota school districts. Graduation is above the Minnesota average; test scores are below it.

Minnesota towns with similar household incomes (784)Better than 68%
B−A−A narrow range, from a partial year. Ordinary sampling error in 228 test results and a graduating class of 70 could put Menahga anywhere from B− to A−. Only about 4 in 10 Menahga students in the tested grades sat the spring 2022 tests (217 in math, 240 in reading), so the scores describe the students who took them more than the district as a whole.
