Summary:

The Upsala Public School District consists of two schools: Upsala Elementary and Upsala Secondary. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in a relatively affluent area, as evidenced by the low rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Of the two schools, Upsala Secondary stands out as the stronger performer. It is ranked 88th out of 450 Minnesota high schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, significantly higher than the district's overall ranking of 137th out of 446 schools. Upsala Secondary students also outperform the district and state averages on several MCA-III test metrics, including 10th grade reading proficiency and 7th grade reading proficiency.

While Upsala Elementary has stronger math and reading proficiency scores than Upsala Secondary, especially in the elementary grades, the secondary school's 84.2% four-year graduation rate and 4.4% dropout rate suggest it is the higher-performing school in the district. Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.
