Summary

Eden Valley Secondary is a 7–12 school serving 425 students in Eden Valley, Minnesota, part of the Eden Valley-Watkins School District, which ranks 93rd of 458 Minnesota districts (80th percentile, 4 stars). The school itself ranks 122nd of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 74th percentile with 4 stars. That is comfortably above the state median, though lower than its own recent peak: it ranked 53rd of 476 (89th percentile) in 2022–2023 and 28th of 492 (94th percentile) in 2018–2019.

Outcomes are generally strong. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 93.0%, well above the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate was 2.7% versus the state's 4.2%. Math proficiency (46.2%) is above the state's 44.9% and above Kimball Secondary, Rocori Senior High, and Paynesville Area Secondary School, with 7th and 8th grade math especially strong. Reading (43.7%) is the weaker area — below the state's 48.6% and below the district's 49.3%, similar to Kimball Secondary, and trailing Litchfield Senior High (48.0%). Science (29.4%) beats the state's 25.5% but trails Litchfield Senior High, Kimball Secondary, and Rocori Senior High.

Context is relatively favorable: 22.82% of students receive free/reduced lunch, lower than most nearby regular high schools, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 15.5. One thing to watch: all three test scores have declined from a 2023–2024 peak, when math was 58.76%, reading 52.36%, and science 40.38%. The school also ranks at the 90th percentile for low-income students and the 80th percentile for male students, but only the 48th percentile for female students — a sharp drop from 2024–2025. Overall, Eden Valley Secondary is a solid, above-average option with real math strength, but reading and the recent score trends deserve attention.
