Summary:
The Park Rapids Public School District in Minnesota is home to three high schools: Park Rapids Senior High, Headwaters Educ Learning Program, and Park Rapids Virtual Academy High. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Park Rapids Senior High is the largest high school in the district, with 457 students. It has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a lower dropout rate of 4.4%.

In contrast, the smaller Headwaters Educ Learning Program and Park Rapids Virtual Academy High share the same four-year graduation rate and dropout rate as Park Rapids Senior High, but have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
The data also reveals that Park Rapids Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 212 out of 480 schools in 2023-2024 to 377 out of 476 schools in 2022-2023. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 1 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other Minnesota high schools. These findings suggest that the Park Rapids Public School District may need to implement targeted interventions or strategies to improve student learning and achievement across its high schools.
