Summary:

The St. Louis County School District in Minnesota is home to 4 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. These schools, including Cherry Secondary, South Ridge Secondary, North Woods Secondary, and Northeast Range Secondary, vary in size, performance, and student-teacher ratios.

Among the standout schools, North Woods Secondary ranks the highest in the state, with strong proficiency rates in Math and Reading. It also boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which may contribute to its academic success.
