Summary:
There is one high school in the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa School District: Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Sec., a grade 6–12 school at 710 Washburn Ave in Belgrade, Minnesota. It enrolls 316 students, has a 12.2 student-teacher ratio, and reports 34.49% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Because the school serves grades 6 through 12, its "all grades" results blend middle-school and high-school performance, which matters when reading the numbers below. The district currently ranks 297 of 458 statewide, in the 35th percentile with 2 stars.
The clearest strengths are completion outcomes and reading. The graduation rate is 94.6%, compared with 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate is 0.0%, versus 4.2% statewide. All-grade reading sits at 47.8%, essentially level with the state's 48.6%. Reading is stronger in the middle grades: 6th grade reading is 57.8% versus 53.4% statewide, and 7th grade reading is 56.1% versus 43.5%. Seventh grade is the standout bright spot overall, with math also slightly ahead of the state at 41.5% versus 40.3%. Math and science, by contrast, lag well behind. All-grade math is 24.5% versus 44.9% statewide, and all-grade science is 9.3% versus 25.5%. The grade-level gaps are large: 8th grade math is 13.5% versus 42.3% statewide, 11th grade math is 8.3% versus 35.3%, 8th grade science is 2.7% versus 16.7%, and Science End of Course is 15.8% versus 35.0%. Tenth grade reading is also below the state at 31.6% versus 42.5%. The school's latest rank fell to 378 of 473, in the 20th percentile with 1 star, down from 50th percentile and 3 stars the prior year.
For parents, the picture is mixed: this school keeps students on track to graduate and performs at or above the state in reading, particularly in 6th and 7th grade, but math and science proficiency are far below state averages across most grades.
