Summary

6-12th Grade Building is a small rural secondary school in Graceville, Minnesota, serving 133 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley district, with about one teacher for every 12 students. In 2025-2026, it ranked 271st of 473 Minnesota high schools — the 43rd percentile with 2 stars — a decline from 2023-2024, when it placed 157th of 480 at the 67th percentile with 3 stars. The school has swung widely over the past decade, reaching the 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2014-2015, then falling to the 26th percentile and 1 star in 2017-2018 before recovering.

Test scores tell a lopsided story. Math proficiency is 17.1%, far below the district (36%) and state (44.9%) — the lowest among nearby schools and less than half the rate at Ortonville Secondary (36.9%) and Chokio-Alberta Secondary (36.7%), and well under Wheaton Secondary (23.4%). Math proficiency has slid from 39.73% in 2022-2023 to 17.1% in 2025-2026. Reading (38.2%) and science (18.2%) are comparatively stronger — second among this four-school group — though both remain below state averages.

Graduation is a watch point. After years of 94%–100% graduation and mostly 0% dropout, 2024-2025 brought 87.5% graduation and 4.1% dropout — still above the state's graduation rate, but below all three nearby schools, which posted 0% dropout and 96%–100% graduation. In 2025-2026, the school's effectiveness ranking was 53rd percentile (3 stars) for female students and 20th percentile (1 star) for male students. With only 133 students, year-to-year swings can be large, but the math decline appears across multiple years and grade levels, making it more than a one-year fluctuation.
