Summary

A.C.G.C. Secondary is a grades 7–12 school in Grove City, MN, with 390 students, serving a rural area as part of the A.C.G.C. Public School District.

In 2025–2026, A.C.G.C. Secondary ranks 121 of 473 schools (74th percentile, 4 stars), tied with Eden Valley Secondary, slightly behind Litchfield Senior High, and ahead of Willmar Senior High, Paynesville Area Secondary School, and DREAM Technical Academy; New London-Spicer Senior ranks much higher. Science is the academic bright spot: all-grade science is 33.0% versus 25.5% statewide, End-of-Course science is 47.9% versus 35%, and 8th-grade science is 21.9% versus 16.7%. Overall math and reading lag state averages (35.4% vs. 44.9% and 39.1% vs. 48.6%), but the drag is concentrated in middle school—7th-grade reading is 30% vs. 43.5%—while 11th-grade math matches the state (35.3%) and 10th-grade reading beats it (44.0% vs. 42.5%). Graduation is consistently strong at 95.4% in 2024–2025, far above the state’s 84.9%.

A.C.G.C. Secondary also serves a higher-poverty population than most nearby comprehensive schools: 43.08% free/reduced lunch, versus 29.24% at Litchfield Senior High, 22.82% at Eden Valley Secondary, 19.87% at New London-Spicer Senior, and 28.39% at Paynesville Area Secondary School, though lower than Willmar Senior High’s 57.43%. Its student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is favorable compared with Willmar Senior High (16.2), Eden Valley Secondary (15.5), and Litchfield Senior High (18.1). Low-income students rank in the top quartile statewide (78th percentile, 4 stars), a relative strength, while special education students rank 26th percentile/1 star in 2025–2026, a clear concern. Note that A.C.G.C. Secondary serves grades 7–12 while some peers serve grades 9–12, and small alternative programs may have suppressed test data that should be treated as unknown.
