Summary:

The Alden-Conger Public School District in Minnesota contains two schools serving about 444 students in total: Alden-Conger Elementary, which covers prekindergarten through 6th grade with 229 students, and Alden-Conger Secondary, which serves grades 7 through 12 with 215 students. The district is ranked 288 of 458 in the state, the 37th percentile, and holds a 2-star rating.

The two schools are on very different paths. The secondary school is the stronger of the two: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.9% against a state rate of 84.9%, and its dropout rate was 0.0% against the state's 4.2%. It ranked 26 of 450 (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025, and although it slipped to 198 of 473 (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, it is still above the state median. Its 2025–2026 all-grade scores beat the district in math, reading, and science but remain below the state in all three. Some grade-level results stand out: 11th grade math at 43.9% proficient and 8th grade math at 47.1%, both above state.

The elementary school is the bigger concern. Its rank has fallen from the 41st percentile in 2023–2024 to 18th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, and it trails both the district and the state in all three subjects. The clearest red flag is upper-elementary math: 5th grade at 9.7% and 6th grade at 5.1%, versus state rates of 41.9% and 39.5%. Reading also weakens by grade, with 6th grade at 23.1% versus the state's 53.4%. Both schools declined more than the state did year over year, and the district as a whole is below state in math, reading, and science.
