Summary:
Fulda, Minnesota has one listed high school: Fulda Secondary, a grades 7–12 school with 157 students in the Fulda Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the city, it is the entire city-level comparison. The district ranks 235 of 458, at the 49th percentile with 2 stars. In 2024–2025, 40.13% of students received free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio was 15.2, indicating a moderate-sized secondary population with a notable share of economically disadvantaged students. The data does not include a state comparison for those two measures, so they are best read as context.
Academically, the clearest gaps are in math and reading. In 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency was 25% versus the state's 44.9%, and reading was 26.3% versus 48.6%. Grade-level gaps were especially wide in 7th-grade reading (15.4% at the school vs. 43.5% statewide) and 8th-grade math (21.7% vs. 42.3%). Science is the relative bright spot: in 2024–2025, all-grades science proficiency was 29.55%, above both the district's 23.29% and the state's 26.15%. In 2025–2026, all-grades science matched the state at 25.5%, and 8th-grade science was slightly above state at 17.4% versus 16.7%. Graduation and dropout tell a mixed story: the graduation rate was 80.7%, below the state's 84.9%, while the dropout rate was 3.8%, lower than the state's 4.2%.
Results are mixed from year to year. All-grades math improved slightly from 23.46% to 25%, while reading fell from 37.84% to 26.3% and science fell from 29.55% to 25.5%. The reading comparison should be read cautiously because the exam labels differ between years, with 2024–2025 listed as MCA-III and 2025–2026 as MCA-IV. Rank history is stable but modest, holding 2 stars in each of the last three reported years, with percentile moving from 45 to 38 and then to 41. Note that district all-grades figures may include lower grades not served by Fulda Secondary, so those comparisons are not strictly apples-to-apples.
