Summary:
The city of Two Harbors, Minnesota is home to a single public high school, Two Harbors Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance appears to be relatively average compared to other high schools across the state, with some areas of concern, particularly in math proficiency and overall academic achievement.
Two Harbors Secondary currently ranks 245 out of 450 Minnesota high schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.4% is slightly higher. Academically, the school's test scores on the MCA-III assessments are generally below the state and district averages, especially in math, where only 23.33% of 11th graders were proficient or better, compared to 34.96% statewide. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 32.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Two Harbors Secondary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 66th out of 476 schools in 2022-2023 to 245th out of 450 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. To address these issues, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support, particularly in math instruction, and explore ways to better support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
