Summary:
The city of Montgomery, Minnesota, is home to two schools: Tri-City United High School and Montgomery Pre K-8. These schools serve students from the Tri-City United School District, providing education from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Tri-City United High School, a relatively large high school with 614 students, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 235 in 2022-2023 to 309 in 2024-2025. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% is slightly below the state average, and it has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 4.4%. Academically, Tri-City United High School is underperforming on state assessments, with proficiency rates below the state average in math, reading, and science.
In contrast, Montgomery Pre K-8, a sizable elementary/middle school with 606 students, has shown more variability in its performance. While the school is ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a ranking decline from 465 in 2022-2023 to 489 in 2024-2025, it has stronger performance on state assessments compared to the high school, with some grade levels exceeding the state average in math and reading. However, the school's higher free/reduced lunch rate of 46.04% may be a contributing factor to its more variable academic performance.
