Summary:
Stephen, Minnesota has one school in the supplied data: Stephen-Argyle Central High School, a high school serving grades 7–12 with 124 students. It belongs to the Stephen-Argyle Central Schools district, which ranks 128 out of 458 schools, at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars. Because this is the only school listed for the city, the picture here is a single-school profile rather than a comparison among local schools.
The school's strongest results stand out clearly. In 2025–26 it ranked 42 out of 473 schools — the 91st percentile with 5 stars — a sharp rise from the 69th percentile and 3 stars in each of the two prior years. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 95.2%, compared with the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate was 0.0%, versus the state's 4.2%. Science End of Course proficiency was 68.2%, nearly double the state's 35%, and 10th grade reading was 54.5% against the state's 42.5%. Eleventh grade math (40%) and 7th grade reading (45%) were also modestly above state levels.
Results are uneven by subject and grade, though. All-grades math was 31.7%, about 13 points below the state's 44.9%, with 7th grade math at 25% and 8th grade math at 32%. Eighth grade reading (40%) and 8th grade science (8%) also trailed the state, even as Science End of Course excelled. All-grades reading (46.3%) was close to the state's 48.6%. About 33.06% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.2. With only 124 students across six grades, small cohorts mean yearly swings can be large, so families should read single-year changes with that in mind.
