Summary:
Spring Grove Secondary is the only high school in the Spring Grove School District in Minnesota, serving grades 7–12 at 113 2nd Ave NW in the small community of Spring Grove. With just 163 students, it functions as a combined secondary school rather than a traditional 9–12 high school, and it sits inside a district ranked 43rd of 458 in the state — the 91st percentile, with 5 stars.
The school's own most recent rating is 89th of 473 schools, the 81st percentile with 4 stars — a sharp rebound from 318th of 450 and 1 star the year before, and a return to form after a 3-star, 61st-percentile showing in 2023–2024. Outcomes are a clear strength: a 95.1% graduation rate and a 2.4% dropout rate, compared with 84.9% and 4.2% statewide. That means students here graduate about 10 points more often and drop out about 2 points less often than Minnesota as a whole.
Academically, math and reading at the all-grades level both beat the state in 2025–2026: 54.2% versus 44.9% in math and 56.2% versus 48.6% in reading, with math climbing roughly 30 points from 23.75% the prior year. Grade-level results are strong too, including 8th-grade reading at 63.0% (13 points above the state) and 7th-grade math at 69.2% (nearly 29 points above). Science is mixed — End-of-Course science is 42.1% against the state's 35.0%, but 8th-grade science is only 3.7% versus 16.7% statewide, which pulls all-grades science to 19.6%, below the state's 25.5%. Because the school is small, a single class cohort can swing these numbers, so that 8th-grade science result is worth watching rather than treating as a fixed verdict.
