Summary

Cedar Mountain Middle/High School is a rural public school in Morgan, MN, serving 219 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Cedar Mountain School District. The district ranks 252 of 458 in Minnesota (45th percentile, 2 stars), while the school itself ranked 322 of 473 in 2025–2026 (32nd percentile, 2 stars) — an improvement from 387 of 450 the previous year (14th percentile, 1 star), and its best showing since 2018–2019.

On state tests, Cedar Mountain is below the Minnesota average in all three subjects: math 31.6 vs 44.9, reading 43.3 vs 48.6, and science 17.6 vs 25.5. Science is the clearest weakness, and 8th-grade science (7.1 vs 16.7 statewide) is less than half the state figure. Reading is a relative bright spot — 43.3 is higher than Wabasso Secondary (39.6), Sleepy Eye Sec. (35.9), and Redwood Valley Senior High (37.0), though below Springfield Secondary (56.7). Math sits close to Sleepy Eye (31.6 vs 32.1) but far behind Wabasso (68.6) and Springfield (46.1). Results split by grade level: middle-grade math and reading are near state levels, while 11th-grade math (12 vs 35.3), 10th-grade reading (30.4 vs 42.5), and EOC science (30.4 vs 35) lag sharply.

Completion is a genuine strength. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 91.1%, above the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate was 2.2%, below the state's 4.2%. About 45.21% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — the highest rate among nearby schools — and the student-teacher ratio is 14.1, improved from 15.7 in 2022–2023. Keep in mind that Cedar Mountain Middle/High School includes grade 6 while Wabasso, Springfield, and Sleepy Eye serve grades 7–12 and Redwood Valley serves grades 9–12, so all-grade comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
