Summary:

The Truman Public School District in Minnesota operates two schools - Truman Elementary and Truman Secondary. The district as a whole is ranked 319th out of 446 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

Truman Elementary has shown progress in its statewide ranking, moving from 572nd out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 631st out of 872 in 2024-2025. However, it is still rated 1 out of 5 stars. Truman Secondary has also improved its statewide ranking, moving from 394th out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 297th out of 450 in 2024-2025, and is now rated 2 out of 5 stars.

Both Truman Elementary and Truman Secondary have test scores and proficiency rates that are generally below state averages, with some exceptions.
