Summary

Browerville Secondary is a 7–12 school in Browerville, MN, serving 291 students as part of the Browerville Public School District, which ranks 294th of 458 districts statewide (36th percentile, 2 stars). The school itself ranks 260th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 (45th percentile, 2 stars), and it has been mostly a 2-star school over the past decade, with brief 3-star years in 2018–2019 and 2020–2021. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 30.9% in math, 30.4% in reading, and 22.7% in science, compared with state rates of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 78.9% versus the state's 84.9%, while the dropout rate was 3.5%, below the state's 4.2%.

Compared with nearby schools, Browerville sits in the middle on rank: its 45th percentile is close to the nearby average, and its math and science scores beat the nearby average while reading falls slightly below. Its graduation rate is below every nearby school listed, including Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Secondary at 80.5%. What really sets Browerville apart is class size: its student-teacher ratio of 7.1 is less than half of Staples-Motley Senior High's 16.3, and well below Swanville Secondary (14.4), Bertha Secondary (13.3), and Long Prairie-Grey Eagle (12.7). Bertha is the standout nearby school with a 73rd percentile, 4-star rank and a 90.0% graduation rate; Staples-Motley has the highest graduation rate (94.2%) and strong reading; Swanville has the highest math (39.7%) but very low science (4.0%); Long Prairie-Grey Eagle has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (65.88%) and weakest scores. Browerville's own free/reduced lunch rate is 40.21%, below the nearby average of about 47.0%.

Two things stand out most for parents. The 2024–2025 graduation rate fell from 87.8% the prior year — when it was above the state's 84.2% — to 78.9%, an 8.9-point one-year decline and the lowest in the five-year series; the modest dropout rate suggests timing or transfers may be involved. Reading is the widest proficiency gap, especially in 7th grade at 21.4% versus the state's 43.5%. On the positive side, the low-SES subgroup ranked 92nd of 377 (76th percentile, 4 stars), far above the school's overall rank, and high-school End of Course science was 36.6%, above the state's 35.0%, even though 8th grade science (12.5%) trails the state's 16.7%. The latest special education ranking, from 2023–2024, was 207th of 221 (6th percentile, 0 stars), a clear concern.
