Summary

Dassel-Cokato Senior High in Cokato, Minnesota is a 9–12 comprehensive high school with 601 students, part of Dassel-Cokato Public Schools, and it ranked 39th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025-2026 — the 92nd percentile, 5 stars — a strong rebound from 2024-2025 (132nd of 450) and close to its 2023-2024 level.

On core outcomes the school sits above Minnesota averages: 2025-2026 proficiency of 62.2% in math, 54.5% in reading, and 48.3% in science, compared with state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Its 2024-2025 graduation rate was 89.7% (state: 84.9%) and its dropout rate 1.6% (state: 4.2%). Next to nearby Annandale Senior High, Dassel-Cokato shows higher math and science proficiency and a much lower dropout rate, while Annandale has slightly higher reading (57.0% vs. 54.5%) and graduation (92.5% vs. 89.7%). Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Sec. graduates more students (95.0%) with a lower dropout rate (0.9%), but its proficiency is far lower (math 26.9%, reading 29.4%, science 29.5%) — a reminder that completion and test scores can tell different stories.

Science is a signature strength: 48.3% proficiency is well above the district's 32.3% and the state's 25.5%.
