Summary:
Minneota Secondary is the only high school in the Minneota Public School District, serving grades 7–12 to 296 students in Minneota, Minnesota. Because it is the only school in the district, there are no in-district comparisons to make; instead, the meaningful yardstick is how it performs against Minnesota averages and the district-wide figures.
The school's overall profile is strong. In the 2025–26 rankings it placed 45th out of 473 Minnesota high schools, in the top 10%, with a 5-star rating — a step down from the top 2% (9th of 450) in 2024–25 and top 3% (14th of 480) in 2023–24, but still 5 stars each year. Science is the standout subject: 62% of students reached proficiency on the End-of-Course science assessment versus 35% statewide, a 27-point advantage, and all-grade science beat both the district and the state. Grade-level results are mostly above state, with the strongest margins in science, 11th-grade math (+18.7 points), and 8th-grade reading (+12.3 points). Only 7th-grade reading came in slightly under, at 41.7% versus 43.5%.
Two cautions are worth watching. Proficiency fell notably from 2024–25 to 2025–26 — about 7 points in math, 11.5 in reading, and 10.6 in science — larger than the state's declines, though with only 296 students a few test-takers can move percentages a lot. Also, the school's all-grade math and reading trail the district's all-grade averages, which likely include other grades, suggesting math and reading are not the district's strongest area at this level. Graduation stands at 93.4%, well above the state's 84.9%, but the dropout rate is 6.5% against the state's 4.2%. About one in four students qualifies for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.5.
