Summary:
The Pillager Public School District in central Minnesota contains just one high school: Pillager Senior High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 370 students at 323 E 2nd St S in Pillager. Because it is the district's only high school, its results effectively define the district's entire high-school profile, and no test scores in its record are hidden for privacy reasons.
Science is the standout subject. In 2025–2026, 40.6% of students were proficient in Science, above the district's 26.2% and the state's 25.5% for all grades, and above the state's 35.0% on the Science End-of-Course exam. Math is the biggest gap: 27.7% proficient, compared with 45.5% in the district and 44.9% statewide, and down about 11 percentage points from 38.75% the year before, while district and state Math held fairly steady. Reading is mixed — 45.9% overall, below the district's 51.1% and the state's 48.6%, but above the state's 42.5% at the 10th-grade level, which is the most directly comparable measure for this school.
Completion outcomes are a major strength. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95.6%, versus 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate was 1.0%, versus 4.2% statewide. The school's ranking also rebounded, rising from #251 of 450 (44th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 to #174 of 473 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. For context, the student–teacher ratio is 17.1:1 and 32.16% of students qualified for free/reduced-price lunch. One caution: the Reading exam label changed between years, so year-over-year Reading comparisons should be treated carefully.
