Summary:

Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial has one high school — Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial Sec in the Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial district — serving grades 6–12 with 506 students at 607 Knights Ln in Lake Crystal. With only one school in the area, families have a single option, and the question is how it performs against the state. On the measures that matter most for completion, it stands out: a 94.4% graduation rate and a 1.3% dropout rate in 2024–2025, compared with 84.9% and 4.2% statewide. The school has also earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported years, placing it in the top quartile of Minnesota high schools (78th percentile in 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, 86th in 2023–2024). Enrollment is 506, the student-teacher ratio is 16.8, and 23.91% of students receive free or reduced lunch.

Test results are more mixed. All-grades science proficiency is 25.8%, essentially even with the state's 25.5%, while all-grades math (42.3% vs. 44.9%) and reading (46.8% vs. 48.6%) sit slightly below state averages. Grade-level results vary widely: 11th-grade math (41.5% vs. 35.3%), 8th-grade math (49.2% vs. 42.3%), 10th-grade reading (47.1% vs. 42.5%), and End-of-Course science (41.8% vs. 35.0%) beat the state, while 8th-grade science is a clear weak spot at 8.2% proficient versus 16.7% statewide, followed by 8th-grade reading and 7th-grade math. Reading improved year over year, rising from 44.37% to 46.8% while the state declined.

One caution for parents: the district's all-grades math (53.4%) and reading (51.0%) look stronger than the school's, but the district covers additional grade levels, so that is not a like-for-like comparison. At each grade level shown, district and school figures are identical, suggesting this school is the only provider for those grades. Overall, the school is a stable, top-quartile performer with excellent completion outcomes and proficiency close to state averages, with middle-school science and some middle-grade reading and math results as the main areas to watch.
