Summary:
Laporte Public School District in Minnesota has just one high school — Laporte Secondary, serving grades 9–12 with 106 students at 315 Main St W in the small town of Laporte — so there are no neighboring high schools within the district to compare it against, and the most useful comparisons are the school against its own past results, its district values, and Minnesota statewide values.
Academically, the picture is mixed. Science is the standout subject: in 2025–2026 the school reached 37% proficiency at the End-of-Course level vs. 35% statewide, and 37% on the "All Grades" view vs. 25.5% statewide; in 2024–2025, science was 44% vs. 26.15% statewide. Math is the clearest concern, at 20% in 2025–2026 and essentially flat from 19.23% the year before, roughly 15 points behind the state's 11th-grade math proficiency of 35.3%. Reading declined from 48% to 40.7% year over year; its "All Grades" gap to the state was 7.9 points, but the same-grade comparison is much closer — 40.7% vs. 42.5% statewide, a gap of only 1.8 points. Because of the way the "All Grades" rows line up with the tested grades at this school, grade-level figures are the fairest comparisons.
Completion outcomes are strong: a 95.4% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, compared with Minnesota's 84.9% and 4.2%. The school's state rank has climbed from 330 of 480 (31st percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 235 of 473 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, above the district's 34th percentile and 2 stars. With 106 students, a 45.28% free/reduced lunch rate, and a 14.3 student-teacher ratio, cohorts are small, so year-to-year rates can swing widely and the excellent graduation and dropout figures should be read with that small-school caution in mind.
