Summary:
The Nevis Public School District in Minnesota contains just one high school, Nevis Secondary, a grades 7–12 school at 210 Pleasant St W in the small town of Nevis with 279 students enrolled.
Nevis Secondary shines most in graduation outcomes. Its 2024–25 graduation rate is 97.9%, well above Minnesota's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 2.0% — less than half the state's 4.2%. Math is a steady strength: all-grade proficiency is 55.5% in 2025–26 versus 44.9% statewide, with standout results in 8th grade (63.2% vs. 42.3%) and 11th grade (59.5% vs. 35.3%). Science also beats the state at 30.2% versus 25.5%, and 8th-grade science (23.7% vs. 16.7%) is a bright spot. For context, 42.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the student/teacher ratio is 14.3.
Reading is the area to watch. In 2025–26, all-grade reading is 44.6%, roughly 4 points below the state's 48.6% and below the district's 50.3%; 10th-grade reading (36.2%) trails the state by 6.3 points. Reading and science both fell noticeably from 2024–25, though a change in the reading exam label that year means year-over-year comparisons deserve caution. Reflecting those shifts, the school's state rank moved from 37th of 450 (5 stars) in 2024–25 to 169th of 473 (3 stars) in 2025–26 — still above average at the 64th percentile. Overall, families can expect strong graduation and math results, with reading as the clear growth priority.
