Summary

MACCRAY Secondary is a grades 6–12 school in Clara City, MN, serving 402 students in a rural part of west-central Minnesota as part of the MACCRAY School District. Its 2025–2026 state rank is 211th of 473 schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), a sharp one-year rebound from 329th of 450 (27th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025. The district itself ranks 174th of 458 Minnesota districts (62nd percentile, 3 stars).

Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools — Kerkhoven Secondary, Montevideo Senior High, Renville County West Senior High, and Yellow Medicine East Secondary — reading is MACCRAY's clearest strength. At 50.9% proficiency in 2025–2026, it is above the state's 48.6% and the highest among those nearby schools. Math (40.7%) also beats every nearby comprehensive school but still trails the state's 44.9% and the district's 46.2%, with 11th grade (27.9% vs. the state's 35.3%) the weakest spot. Science is the main academic concern at 21.4%, below the state's 25.5% and below the nearby average. Graduation is a standout: 97.8% in 2024–2025 versus 84.9% statewide, with a 2.1% dropout rate versus 4.2% statewide.

Two areas deserve attention. Special education students ranked 212th of 224 (5th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026 — the most persistent gap in the data. Science results, including 8th grade at 14.1% versus the state's 16.7%, suggest a need for targeted instructional focus. Overall, MACCRAY serves a higher share of students from low-income families than some neighbors yet posts stronger reading, math, and graduation results, pointing to effective student supports. Because the school's rankings have fluctuated over the past decade, families should watch whether this year's gains hold.
