Summary

Greenbush-Middle River Secondary is a small public school in Greenbush, a rural community in northwestern Minnesota, serving roughly 102 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of Greenbush Middle River Schools. With only about 100 students, year-to-year percentages can swing noticeably when just a few students change performance, so it helps to look at several years at once rather than a single one.

In 2025–26 the school ranked 226th of 473 Minnesota schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars), up from 269th of 450 (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–25, though far below its 2021–22 peak of 38th of 472 (92nd percentile, 5 stars). Reading is the clearest concern: all-grade proficiency is 31.4%, below the state's 48.6% and about 22 points below both Tri-County Secondary (53.3%) and Badger Secondary (53.2%). Reading was under the state average at every reported grade level (7th, 8th, and 10th). Science is a relative bright spot at 32.4%, above the state (25.5%) and both nearby schools, with an End-of-Course score of 47.1% versus the state's 35%. Math is mixed at 41.7% overall — above the district's 30.8% and Badger's 39.2%, but below the state and Tri-County. Seventh- and 8th-grade math (47.1% each) beat state averages, while 11th-grade math (28.6%) lags the state's 35.3%.

Completion outcomes are strong: a 91.6% graduation rate in 2024–25 (state: 84.9%) and a 0.0% dropout rate. Notably, the school's free/reduced-lunch rate is 21.57%, far below Tri-County's 51.81% and Badger's 54.55%, so the reading gap is not easily explained by economic disadvantage. The school also outranks its own district and trails Badger (60th percentile) and Tri-County (85th).
