RED LAKE SECONDARY

RED LAKE SECONDARY is a Title I public high school that is part of the RED LAKE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in RED LAKE, MN with about 278 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, RED LAKE SECONDARY has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
