Summary

Kalon Prep Academy in Alexandria, MN, is a small high school serving grades 9–12 with 141 students, located only 1.55 miles from Alexandria Area High School yet showing sharply different results.

For 2025–2026, Kalon’s overall school rank is 437 of 473 (8th percentile, 0 stars), while nearby schools are much higher: Alexandria Area High School is ranked 93/473 (80%, 4 stars), Minnewaska Secondary 48/473 (90%, 5 stars), Parkers Prairie Secondary 74/473 (84%, 4 stars), Brandon-Evansville High School 163/473 (66%, 3 stars), and Osakis Secondary 182/473 (62%, 3 stars). In 2024–2025, Kalon’s graduation rate was 76.0% and dropout rate 10.8%, compared with Minnesota’s 84.9% graduation and 4.2% dropout. Nearby schools had graduation rates from 95.0% to 97.5% and dropout rates of 0.0% to 2.3%. Kalon’s 2025–2026 proficiency was 7.4% in Math, 10% in Reading, and 7.4% in Science, far below the state (44.9%, 48.6%, 25.5%) and every nearby school.

About 50.35% of Kalon students received free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, higher than nearby schools, though some nearby schools with above-30% rates still post stronger outcomes. Kalon also has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the group (12.1 in 2024–2025), but that advantage has not translated into higher achievement. In 2025–2026, subgroup ranks were bottom-tier across female, male, special education, and low-socioeconomic-status students, suggesting a school-wide challenge rather than one isolated group. Small enrollment can make year-to-year swings larger, but low performance is consistent across overall rank, graduation, dropout, proficiency, and subgroup measures.
