Summary

Glenville-Emmons Secondary is a small rural public school in Glenville, Minnesota, serving grades 7–12 with 104 students as part of the Glenville-Emmons School District. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 426th of 473 Minnesota high schools (10th percentile, 1 star), and the district ranked 395th of 458 districts (14th percentile). Its recent record is mixed: students finish school at strong rates, but test scores are low.

Proficiency is the school's clearest challenge. In 2025–2026, 19.4% of students were proficient in math, 19.2% in reading, and just 5.7% in science, compared with state rates of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Nearby traditional high schools are currently ahead in all three subjects: Alden-Conger Secondary (39.6% math, 37.9% reading, 22.4% science), Lyle High School (43.8%, 36.0%, 37.5%), Austin Senior High (23.6%, 32.9%, 27.7%), and Albert Lea Senior High (21.7%, 28.6%, 19.3%). Science stands out: End of Course science proficiency was 0%, and even the strongest result, 8th grade at 8.7%, was about half the state rate. Reading in 10th grade (8.3%) and math in 7th and 11th grades (17.6% and 13.6%) are also well below state averages.

Completion outcomes tell a different story. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92.8%—above the state's 84.9% and above Lyle, Austin Senior, and Albert Lea Senior—with a 0.0% dropout rate for the third straight year. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.7, though 41.35% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. One caution for families: results swing widely year to year, from the 69th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 10th percentile in 2025–2026, and effectiveness ratings for some student groups, including male students, have landed at the bottom of ranked schools in past years.
