Schools in Fulda, MN

Fulda, Minnesota is served by two public schools in the Fulda Public School District — Fulda Elementary for grades PK–6 and Fulda Secondary for grades 7–12 — together enrolling 336 students, with no separate middle school in the data set.

Fulda Elementary is the clear standout: it ranks 227 of 869 schools, in the 74th percentile with 4 stars, up from 386 of 881 three years earlier. Its 2025–2026 proficiency exceeds both the district and the state in math (55.1% vs 43.9% district and 44.9% state), reading (63.6% vs 48.1% and 48.6%), and science (44% vs 31.9% and 25.5%). It also has the smallest classes in the data set, a student-teacher ratio of 11.3 compared with 15.2 at the secondary school, even though its free/reduced-price lunch rate is higher (54.75% vs 40.13%). Third-grade reading is exceptional at 87% against the state's 46.8%. One caution: by 6th grade, math slips to 23.3%, below the state's 39.5%, and reading is 50% versus 53.4%, so the upper elementary grades look weaker than the early ones.

Fulda Secondary ranks 279 of 473, in the 41st percentile with 2 stars, and has stayed in that lower-middle range for three years. Its all-grade math (25%) and reading (26.3%) sit roughly 20 points below the state, and 7th-grade reading of 15.4% against the state's 43.5% is the weakest result in the data set. Some signals are better: the dropout rate of 3.8% beats the state's 4.2%, science matches the state at 25.5%, and 8th-grade science (17.4%) edges the state's 16.7%. Graduation, however, is 80.7% versus the state's 84.9%. The Fulda Public School District itself is rated 2 stars, 235 of 458 and 49th percentile — a district average that conceals one strong elementary school and a secondary school still working to catch up.
