Summary:
The city of Oklee, Minnesota, has exactly one school in this data set — Red Lake County Central High School, a grades 7–12 high school with 153 students in the Red Lake County Central Public School district.
Because Oklee has only one school, parents have a single option, and Red Lake County Central High School is the whole story for the area. It has been on a clear upward trajectory: it ranked 164th of 480 schools (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, 104th of 450 (77th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 52nd of 473 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a gain of 112 rank positions and 23 percentile points in two years. That latest standing is far higher than the district's listing of 185th of 458 at the 60th percentile with 3 stars. The school enrolls 153 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 11 and 33.33% free/reduced lunch, so it is small, which matters when reading grade-level results.
Older students perform strongly. In 2025–2026, 11th-grade math proficiency was 53.3% versus the state's 35.3%, and 10th-grade reading was 60.9% versus 42.5%. End-of-course science was 39.1%, above the state's 35.0%, and the 2024–2025 graduation rate of 84.6% was essentially level with the state's 84.9%.
Younger students are a different picture. In 2025–2026, 7th-grade math was 18.2% against 40.3% statewide and 8th-grade math 22.7% against 42.3%, while 8th-grade science was just 4.5% versus 16.7%. All-grade math fell from 40.24% to 27.1% year over year, and all-grade science slipped from above state (29.55% vs. 26.15%) to below it (22.2% vs. 25.5%). The 2024–2025 dropout rate of 11.5% was well above the state's 4.2%. With 153 students, small grade groups can swing these percentages sharply.
