Summary
Chokio-Alberta Secondary is a small public school in Chokio, Minnesota, serving 69 students in grades 7–12 as part of Chokio-Alberta Public Schools. With a student-teacher ratio of 9.2 in 2024–2025, classes are relatively small — lower than Hancock Sec. (12.6), Morris Area Secondary (16.3), and the 6-12th Grade Building in Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley (12.1), though higher than Herman-Norcross High School (7.1). Among nearby schools, only Herman-Norcross, with 36 students, is smaller. The district ranks 305 of 458 statewide, and the school ranked 344 of 473 in 2025–2026 (27th percentile, 1 star), down from 143 of 450 (68th percentile, 3 stars) the year before.
The school has the highest economic disadvantage rate among its nearby peers, with 43.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, up from 31.51% in 2022–2023. Hancock Sec. (22.06%), Herman-Norcross High School (13.89%), Morris Area Secondary (24.67%), and the 6-12th Grade Building (28.57%) all serve lower shares. Despite that, completion outcomes are strong: graduation was 100% in 2024–2025 with a 0% dropout rate, compared with a state graduation rate around 84–85% and dropout around 4.2–4.5%. Nearby, Hancock graduated 93.5%, Morris 98.9%, and the 6-12th Grade Building 87.5%.
Test proficiency is the main challenge. In 2025–2026, all-grades math was 36.7% versus 44.9% statewide, reading 23.8% versus 48.6%, and science 8.7% versus 25.5%. Math is the relative bright spot and has improved from 13.51% in 2022–2023. Reading and science trail the 6-12th Grade Building's 38.2% and 18.2% and are far below Hancock Sec. (68.3% reading, 59.2% science) and Morris Area Secondary (57.8%, 41.6%). Results for 8th-grade math and science and 8th- and 10th-grade reading were suppressed by the state, so those are unknown, not zero. Because the school is small, single-year swings should be read with caution.
