Summary:
Foley, Minnesota is home to one public high school — Foley Senior High, part of the Foley Public School District. It serves grades 9–12, enrolls 588 students, and is located at 621 Penn St, Foley, MN 56329-8888. Because Foley has only one listed high school, there are no within-city peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the school's own prior years, its district, and Minnesota state averages.
The school is on a clear upward trajectory. Its state ranking climbed from 270th of 480 schools in 2023–2024 to 156th of 450 in 2024–2025 and 140th of 473 in 2025–2026, moving from the 44th to the 70th percentile and rising from 2 stars to 3 stars to 4 stars. Graduation and dropout outcomes beat the state: the 2024–2025 graduation rate is 89.6% versus 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate is 2.5% versus 4.2%, where lower is better. Science is the strongest relative subject, at 35.7% proficiency in 2025–2026 compared with 22.5% in the district and 25.5% statewide — a 10.2-point advantage over the state.
Math remains the main academic pressure point. All-grades math proficiency improved from 30.43% to 37.8% but still trails the district's 54.4% and the state's 44.9%; notably, 11th-grade math is 37.8%, above the state's 35.3%, suggesting the all-grades comparison reflects differing grade composition. Reading declined from 57.86% to 47.1% year over year, though the exam label changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV, so some caution is warranted. For context, 23.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 19.9. The district ranks 123 of 458 statewide, at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, slightly above the school's 70th percentile.
