Summary:
Isle Public School District in Minnesota contains two high schools — Isle Secondary and Isle Area Learning Center — both serving grades 7–12 at 730 5th Ave S in Isle, MN. Isle Secondary enrolls 188 students, while Isle Area Learning Center enrolls just 6. The district ranks 271 of 458 in Minnesota, placing it at the 41st percentile with 2 stars.
Isle Secondary is the comprehensive school and the only one with enough reported data for meaningful comparison. Its clearest strength is science: All Grades Science is 27.3%, above the district's 24.2% and the state's 25.5%; End of Course Science is 39.1% versus 37.5% district and 35% state; and 8th Grade Science is 18.8% versus 18.2% district and 16.7% state. Seventh-grade math is also a bright spot at 48%, matching the district and above the state's 40.3%. The graduation rate is a standout at 91.8%, above the district's 87.1% and the state's 84.9%, though the 8.1% dropout rate beats the district's 12.8% but remains above the state's 4.2%. The school's ranking rebounded from 366 of 450 and the 19th percentile in 2024–2025 to 240 of 473 and the 49th percentile in 2025–2026, and all-grade proficiency rose in math (+7.76 points), reading (+0.82 points) and science (+0.63 points).
The main academic gaps are reading and 8th-grade math: All Grades Reading is 33.8% against the state's 48.6%, 8th Grade Reading is 31.3% against 50%, and 8th Grade Math is 21.9% against 42.3%. About 49.47% of Isle Secondary students qualify for free/reduced lunch, useful context for interpreting those gaps. Isle Area Learning Center cannot be fairly evaluated on current achievement — its 2025–2026 test scores are suppressed as —, meaning the state withheld them as unknown, not zero or poor performance, and its free/reduced-lunch percentage and student-teacher ratio are not provided. Its only school-level outcomes date to 2021–2022 (0.0% graduation, 40.0% dropout) and rest on a very small group.
