Summary:
Schools in the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School District serve roughly 984 students across just two schools — one PK–6 elementary and one 7–12 secondary — making this a small, single-town district in central Minnesota rather than a large multi-school system. At the district level, it ranks 397th of 458 in Minnesota, in the 13th percentile with 1 star, and both schools fall below the state in every all-grades core subject in 2025–26: math 18.2% for the district versus 44.9% statewide, reading 22.4% versus 48.6%, and science 14.4% versus 25.5%.
Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Secondary is the relative standout of the two. Its 2025–26 school rank is 331 of 473 (30th percentile, 2 stars), a clear improvement from 381 of 450 (15th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–25. It also holds the district's best science results — 17.3% proficient in all-grades science against 14.4% district and 25.5% state — and 28% in End-of-Course science, only 7 points under the state's 35%. Its dropout rate of 4.1% is essentially level with the state's 4.2%, while its graduation rate of 80.5% trails the state's 84.9% by 4.4 points, so completion is the bigger concern than dropping out.
Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Elementary is larger (518 students vs 466), has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.6 vs 12.7), and beats the secondary school in all-grades math (19.5% vs 16.8%) and reading (23.0% vs 21.7%). But its science is very low at 7.6%, and its 2025–26 rank of 792 of 869 (9th percentile, 0 stars) is the district's weakest, with reading slipping from 25.62% the prior year. Elementary math also drops sharply by grade — 38.7% in 3rd grade down to 8.5% in 6th. Free/reduced lunch is high at both schools, 73.94% elementary and 65.88% secondary.
