Summary:
Wabasso Public School District is home to a single high-school-level campus, Wabasso Secondary, serving grades 7–12 with 237 students. Because it is the only school at this level, all of the area's high school results come from this campus. Its recent trajectory is notably strong: 161st of 480 schools (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, 34th of 450 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025, and 29th of 473 (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 — roughly the top 6% of Minnesota high schools. The district overall ranks 72nd of 458, in the 84th percentile with 4 stars.
Math is the standout academic strength: 68.6% of all students tested proficient in 2025–2026, 23.7 points above the state's 44.9%, with 8th grade at 72.5% and 11th grade at 67.9%. Reading is the clearest area for improvement at 39.6%, below the district's 44.9% and the state's 48.6%; the gap is concentrated in grades 7 and 8, though 10th grade reading is a bright spot at 55.6% versus 42.5% statewide. Science is above state overall (30.3% versus 25.5%), and End of Course science is 47.2% against 35.0%, but 8th grade science is slightly below state at 15.0%. Year over year, math rose 6.1 points and science about 2 points, while reading fell about 7 points.
For 2024–2025, the school reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, compared with state rates of 84.9% and 4.2%. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.2, and 32.49% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. With 237 students, year-to-year rates can swing sharply, but the overall profile is one of strong math and completion outcomes, with reading — particularly in grades 7 and 8 — the main area trailing state benchmarks.
