Summary:
The Annandale Public School District in Minnesota serves roughly 2,006 students across three schools — one elementary, one middle, and one high school — covering grades PK through 12. The district itself is rated highly, ranking 42 of 458 Minnesota districts (91st percentile, 5 stars), but school-level ratings vary considerably within it.
Annandale Senior High is the district's flagship at 5 stars and the 91st percentile, with a 92.5% graduation rate versus 84.9% statewide, though its 5.4% dropout rate is above the state's 4.2%. Its science proficiency (46.7%) far exceeds the state's 25.5% all-grade figure, and its math climbed 8.53 points year over year to 52.5%, while reading dropped 17.83 points to 57.0% — still above the state. Annandale Middle School is a steady 4-star school (84th percentile) with standout 8th-grade results: 63.1% in math and 67.7% in reading, against state figures of 42.3% and 50.0%. Annandale Elementary School is the largest school, with 929 students (about 46% of district enrollment), and posts the district's best math at 59.9%, but its rating slipped to 3 stars and the 69th percentile.
All three schools are above the state in math and reading. Science is uneven: the high school is well above the state, while the middle school's tested 8th-grade result of 18.8% is only modestly above the state's 16.7%. Science declined at every school year over year, and the high school has the largest student-teacher ratio (19.0) yet the strongest outcomes, while the elementary school has the smallest (17.2) and the lowest school-level rating.
