Summary:
The city of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota is home to two schools: Sleepy Eye Elementary and Sleepy Eye Sec. (high school), both part of the Sleepy Eye Public School District. While Sleepy Eye Sec. has a 3-star rating and performs moderately well, Sleepy Eye Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools with a 2-star rating and lower proficiency rates in both math and reading compared to state averages.

Its reading proficiency rates range from 24.32% to 58.97%, with the district and state averages often higher. In contrast, Sleepy Eye Sec. has a graduation rate of 84.2% and a low dropout rate of 4.4%, indicating the school is successful in supporting students to complete their high school education. However, the high school's math proficiency rates, particularly in 11th grade, are significantly below the state average, suggesting a need for improvement in math instruction and support.
Both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Sleepy Eye Elementary at 49.28% and Sleepy Eye Sec. at 39.68%, indicating the Sleepy Eye community may face socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. The district may need to focus on addressing the academic performance issues at Sleepy Eye Elementary and the math proficiency challenges at Sleepy Eye Sec., while also considering the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes.
