Summary:
The Kingsland Public School District in southeastern Minnesota contains just one high school: Kingsland Junior/Senior High School in Spring Valley, which serves grades 7 through 12 and enrolls 218 students. Since it is the district's only high school, it represents the entire high-school picture here. The district as a whole ranks 180th of 458 in Minnesota, placing it in the 61st percentile with 3 stars, while the school's most recent ranking is 307th of 473, or the 35th percentile with 2 stars for 2025–2026.
Parents should know the school's strongest results are in reading and in completion. Its graduation rate is 92.1%, well above Minnesota's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 2.6%, below the state's 4.2%. All-grade reading proficiency is 50.5%, above the state's 48.6%, with 8th-grade reading at 65.8% — far above the state's 50% — and 7th-grade reading at 48.3%. Seventh-grade math is also a bright spot at 51.7% versus the state's 40.3%. Math overall improved year over year, rising from 29.2% to 38.8%, though it still trails the state's 44.9%.
The clearest concern is science, where all-grade proficiency is 14.7% against the state's 25.5%, and it fell sharply from 25.81% the year before. End-of-Course science is 15 points below the state, and 8th-grade science is 6.2 points below. High-school-grade results lag as well: 11th-grade math is 25.8% versus 35.3% statewide, and 10th-grade reading is 33.3% versus 42.5%. The school's ranking has also slipped from 3 stars and the 54th percentile in 2023–2024 to 2 stars and the 35th percentile in 2025–2026. About 25.69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.3:1.
