Summary:
The city of Zumbrota, Minnesota is home to three schools that are part of the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. These schools have consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with the Zumbrota-Mazeppa Middle School and Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High ranking among the top schools in the state.
The Zumbrota-Mazeppa Middle School has been a standout, ranking 71st out of 519 Minnesota middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year and 84th out of 545 in 2023-2024. It has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance.

The high school's 84.2% four-year graduation rate is also noteworthy.
Across the district, the schools generally outperform the state averages in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. However, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at the primary and middle schools (around 25-30%) suggest that a significant portion of the student population may be facing economic challenges, which could be an area for further investigation and targeted support. Overall, the Zumbrota-Mazeppa school system appears to be a strong performer, with standout schools and a focus on academic achievement.
