Summary:
Foley, Minnesota is served by three schools — Foley Elementary (grades PK–3), Foley Intermediate Elementary (grades 4–8, and the largest at 781 students), and Foley Senior High (grades 9–12) — all part of the Foley Public School District, which enrolls 1,921 students and ranks 123 of 458 Minnesota districts (73rd percentile, 4 stars). There is no alternative school in this data set.
Foley Elementary has the strongest proficiency profile in the district: 84.3% in math and 61.7% in reading for 2025–2026, versus district figures of 54.4% and 51.2% and state figures of 44.9% and 48.6%. Its 3rd-grade math score of 84.3% is well above the state's 57.9%, and it has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.4. Foley Intermediate Elementary holds a steady 4-star rank (74th percentile in 2025–2026) but is the district's science weak spot at 17.5%, below the district's 22.5% and the state's 25.5%; its 5th-grade science score is just 14.4% against 25.9% statewide, while 8th-grade science (20.9%) is above the state's 16.7%. Foley Senior High shows the clearest improvement, rising from 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024 to 70th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, with an 89.6% graduation rate and a 2.5% dropout rate, both better than the state.
Overall, the district is above the state in math and reading but below it in science, largely because of the intermediate school's results. Reading slipped at all three schools year over year, though 2024–2025 reading was labeled MCA-III and 2025–2026 reading MCA-IV, so those comparisons should be treated cautiously. Class sizes grow with grade level, from a ratio of 11.4 at the elementary to 16.4 at the intermediate and 19.9 at the high school, while free/reduced-lunch rates are moderate and lowest at the high school (23.3%).
