Summary
Edgerton Secondary is a public school in Edgerton, Minnesota, serving grades 6–12 with 228 students as part of the Edgerton Public School District. In 2025–26 it ranked 203 of 473 Minnesota high schools (57th percentile, 3 stars); its district ranked 254 of 458 (45th percentile, 2 stars). Results have swung widely year to year — 94th percentile in 2017–18, 29th in 2023–24, 75th in 2024–25, and 57th in 2025–26. With 228 students across seven grades, a single class can shift these numbers, so the data shows no steady trend up or down.
Test scores differ by grade level. Across all grades, proficiency was 41.7% in math, 39.1% in reading, and 21.0% in science, versus state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. High school grades perform better than those all-grade figures suggest, since the totals include middle school. Eleventh-grade math was 50.0% — near Luverne Senior High (51.2%) and well above Adrian Secondary (24.2%), Pipestone Senior High (16.4%), and the state (35.3%). Tenth-grade reading was 35.9%, slightly ahead of Adrian and Luverne but below the state's 42.5%. End-of-course science was 31.6%, close to Adrian (34.8%) and above Luverne (30.7%) and Pipestone (20.0%). Eighth-grade reading (30.2%) and science (11.6%) pull the all-grade averages down.
Graduation and dropout send mixed signals. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 84.0%, near the state's 84.9% but below Adrian, Luverne, and Pipestone, and down from 95.0% in 2020–21. The dropout rate was 0.0%, far better than the state's 4.2% and better than Adrian (9.7%), Luverne (4.8%), and Pipestone (6.6%). About 44.7% of students receive free or reduced lunch, higher than most nearby traditional schools, and the student-to-teacher ratio is 13.2. Overall Edgerton sits in the middle: stronger than Adrian and Pipestone on several high school measures, but below Luverne's consistency. SWWC Alternative Learning Center - Pipestone is a small alternative program, not a like-for-like comparison. The clearest opportunities are eighth-grade reading and science, reading overall, and steadying graduation while keeping dropout prevention strong.
