Summary

Renville County West Senior High is a small grades 7–12 public school in Renville, MN, serving 219 students in a rural part of the state as part of Renville County West Schools, a district ranked 238 of 458 in Minnesota (48th percentile, 2 stars). The school itself ranks much higher: 111 of 473 for 2025–2026 (77th percentile, 4 stars), its strongest showing since 2022–2023 and well above its district's overall standing.

Among nearby public high schools, Renville County West Senior High holds the highest current overall rank, ahead of Redwood Valley Senior High, MACCRAY Secondary, BOLD Senior High School, and Yellow Medicine East Secondary. Graduation is strong at 91.8%, above the state's 84.9% but below MACCRAY (97.8%) and Redwood Valley (92.7%). The dropout rate, however, is 5.4% — above the state's 4.2% and higher than every nearby public comparison, a pattern worth watching. Science is the clearest academic strength: all-grade science (29.5%) beats both the district and the state's 25.5%, and End-of-Course science (53.6%) is far above the state's 35%. Tenth-grade reading (50% vs. 42.5%) and 8th-grade math (45.5% vs. 42.3%) also top the state. But all-grade math (35.3%) and reading (37.1%) trail state averages, and middle grades pull results down, with 7th-grade reading at 25% versus the state's 43.5% and 8th-grade science at 9.1% versus 16.7%.

Several student groups rank very well statewide: male students 22nd of 395 (94th percentile, 5 stars), Hispanic students 18th of 135 (87th percentile, 4 stars), and low-socioeconomic-status students 67th of 377 (82nd percentile, 4 stars). White students rank 61st percentile, while female students rank 224th of 398 (44th percentile), down sharply from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024. Free/reduced lunch has declined from 53.48% to 43.84%, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.8 is the highest among the nearby schools listed.
