Summary:
Truman Public School District in Truman, Minnesota has just one high school in this list: Truman Secondary, a small combined middle and high school serving grades 7–12 with 93 students. Because it is the district's only school, district-level figures for high-school metrics are usually the same as the school's own numbers. The district overall ranks 263 of 458 in Minnesota, in the 43rd percentile with 2 stars.
The school's most notable strength is its recent ranking climb: Truman Secondary moved from 305 of 480 in 2023–2024 and 297 of 450 in 2024–2025 to 159 of 473 in 2025–2026, rising from the mid-30s percentile and 2 stars to the 66th percentile with 3 stars. Completion results are strong, with a 93.7% graduation rate versus the state's 84.9%, and a 0.0% dropout rate versus 4.2%. Science is the strongest subject: 34% proficiency at all grades versus 25.5% statewide, and 44.1% on End of Course science versus 35%. Tenth-grade reading is also above the state at 50% versus 42.5%, and the student-teacher ratio of 10 is favorable. Math is the clear weak spot, at 12.8% proficiency versus 44.9% statewide.
Parents should note that results vary widely by subject and grade while the school's latest ranking is stronger than the district's broader 2-star profile. Reading is mixed — 10th grade is a bright spot, but reading overall is 38.8% versus 48.6% statewide and 8th grade is 25% versus 50%. Year-over-year changes are large: math fell from 25.58% to 12.8%, reading rose from 34.88% to 38.8%, and science jumped from 7.14% to 34%. With about 15–16 students per grade, a single student can shift a percentage by several points, so these swings should be read with caution. Free/reduced lunch is 54.84%, meaning more than half of students are economically disadvantaged. Watch whether the most recent gains hold.
