Summary:
The Long Prairie–Grey Eagle School District in central Minnesota contains just one high school, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Secondary, a combined grades 7–12 building with 466 students at 510 9th St NE in Long Prairie. Because it is the district's only secondary school, its grades 7–12 results are the district's results. The district overall rates 1 star and ranks 397th of 458 Minnesota districts (13th percentile), while the school itself currently stands at 2 stars and the 30th percentile — its best showing in three years, after 15th percentile in 2024–25 and 28th in 2023–24.
Test results trail state averages in every subject, but by very different margins. Math is the deepest deficit at 16.8% proficient versus the state's 44.9%, with reading at 21.7% versus 48.6%. Science is closest to state at 17.3% versus 25.5%, and the school's End-of-Course science result of 28% — against a state rate of 35% — is its strongest single grade-level performance. Eighth grade is the clear weak point, with math at 12.3% and science at 5.4%, both at roughly a third of the state rate or less. Tenth-grade reading (24.1%) and 11th-grade math (19.7%) are the strongest grade-level results in those subjects.
Math and reading both improved year over year, up 3.58 and 3.03 points, while the state slipped slightly in both — narrowing the gaps. Science moved the opposite way, falling 5.78 points while the state dropped only 0.65. The 80.5% graduation rate trails the state's 84.9%, though the 4.1% dropout rate sits marginally below the state's 4.2%. With 65.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a favorable 12.7:1 student–teacher ratio, the school's challenges appear tied to student needs rather than crowded classrooms.
