Summary:
There is one high school in the Fulda Public School District in southwestern Minnesota: Fulda Secondary, which serves grades 7 through 12 and enrolls 157 students at 410 College Ave in Fulda. Because the district has only one high school, everything about the district's high school performance is also a statement about Fulda Secondary itself.
Academics are mixed. Science is the bright spot: in 2025–2026, 25.5% of students were proficient in science, exactly matching the state, and 8th-grade science (17.4%) edged past the state (16.7%). In 2024–2025, science was even stronger at 29.55%, above the district's 23.29% and the state's 26.15%. Math and reading are the biggest concerns. All-grades math was 25% versus 44.9% statewide, and reading was 26.3% versus 48.6%. 7th-grade reading is the weakest single result: 15.4% proficient compared with 43.5% statewide, a gap of 28.1 percentage points. 8th-grade reading (34.8%) is relatively stronger within the school, though still below the state's 50%.
Other measures tell a similarly mixed story. The 2024–2025 dropout rate of 3.8% is below the state's 4.2%, but the graduation rate of 80.7% trails the state's 84.9%. The school has held 2 stars for three years, with its statewide percentile moving 45 → 38 → 41, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 279 of 473, or the 41st percentile. About 40.13% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.2 — the data set offers no state benchmark for comparison. Overall, families should see a school with real science strengths and a favorable dropout rate, alongside substantial math and reading gaps and a graduation rate below the state.
