McGregor Public School District

In Minnesota, McGregor Public School District serves 413 students across two schools: McGregor Elementary for grades PK–6 (220 students) and McGregor Secondary for grades 7–12 (193 students). Both schools share the district’s 2025–26 ranking of 250 of 458 schools, or the 45th percentile, with 2 stars, but their individual profiles differ.

McGregor Elementary is the stronger academic performer, especially in math. Its all-grade math proficiency is 50.5%, above the district’s 36.8% and the state’s 44.9%. Sixth-grade math is 51.4% versus the state’s 39.5%, and sixth-grade reading is 64.9% versus the state’s 53.4%. It earned 3 stars and ranked 411 of 869 schools (53rd percentile) in 2025–26, down from the 68th percentile in 2024–25. Science is a weakness: elementary all-grade science is 13.6%, below the district’s 16.5% and the state’s 25.5%.

McGregor Secondary has stronger completion outcomes but weaker test proficiency. Its graduation rate is 91.8% and dropout rate is 2.7%, both better than the state’s 84.9% and 4.2%. Yet all-grade math is 20.7%—well below the district’s 36.8% and state’s 44.9%—and science is 17.5% versus the state’s 25.5%. Reading is closer to average at 45.5%. Across the district, math and science declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and science is the clearest shared weakness. Families comparing the schools should weigh the elementary’s math strengths against the secondary’s completion rates and its significant math and science gaps.
