Summary:
The Zumbro Education District in Minnesota contains two high schools, both listed at the same address in Kasson: Zumbro Area Learning Center, serving grades 6–12 with 59 students, and Transition 2 Success, serving grades 9–12 with 15 students. Together they enroll 74 students. The district is ranked 457th of 458 in the state, with a provided percentile of 0 and 0 stars.
Zumbro Area Learning Center is the larger and more data-complete school, and it reports significant challenges. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 0% in math, 11.8% in reading, and 0% in science, against state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Its graduation rate was 64.8% (state: 84.9%), and its dropout rate was 10.8% (state: 4.2%). Free/reduced lunch is 62.71%, and the student-teacher ratio is 5.5. Several grade-level results — math and reading in grades 7 and 8, and 8th grade science — were suppressed by the state, so they are unknown rather than zero. Its rank history places it in roughly the bottom 1–9% of ranked Minnesota high schools. Reading was comparatively stronger in 2024–2025 at 31.58% before dropping in 2025–2026, a shift best read cautiously given the small enrollment.
Transition 2 Success has no test score, graduation, dropout, or rank data in this data set — an unavailable or suppressed figure means unknown, not low performance — so it cannot be academically compared with the other school. It stands out instead for a lower free/reduced lunch rate (20% vs 62.71%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (3.7 vs 5.5), though both may reflect its very small size and specialized programming. With only 59 and 15 students, percentages can move with just a few students, so these figures are best read as reported outcomes for a small population.
