Summary

Foley Senior High is a public school in Foley, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 588 students in a small central Minnesota community within the Foley Public School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 140th of 473 Minnesota high schools—70th percentile, 4 stars—making it the top-ranked comprehensive high school among its nearby peers, ahead of Milaca Secondary High (57th percentile) and Sauk Rapids-Rice Senior High (41st percentile). The district also compares favorably: Foley Public School District ranks in the 73rd percentile, while Milaca Public School District is 57th, Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools is 38th, and St. Cloud Public School District is 21st. After a dip in 2023–2024, Foley has rebounded to near its earlier high point.

Academically, Foley Senior High was above the state average in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026: 11th-grade math 37.8% vs. 35.3%, 10th-grade reading 47.1% vs. 42.5%, and end-of-course science 35.7% vs. 35.0%. Science is a relative strength, topping the state and both nearby comprehensive high schools. Reading at the tested grade level is also strong: Foley’s 47.1% beat Milaca Secondary High’s 33.9% and Sauk Rapids-Rice Senior High’s 40.4%. Math is more mixed; Foley beat the state and Sauk Rapids-Rice Senior High but trailed Milaca Secondary High’s 42.5%. Graduation and dropout rates are better than the state: 89.6% graduation and 2.5% dropout vs. 84.9% and 4.2% statewide. However, Milaca Secondary High had a higher graduation rate (94.6%) and lower dropout rate (1.5%), and Foley’s graduation rate has cooled from the mid-90s.

Foley serves a lower-poverty population than nearby schools, with a 23.3% free/reduced lunch rate compared with 38.9% at Milaca Secondary High and 29.64% at Sauk Rapids-Rice Senior High, and a student-teacher ratio of 19.9. Subgroup results show strengths and gaps: special education students ranked 99th percentile in 2025–2026—2nd of 224 schools—after a much lower prior year, and low-SES students reached the 76th percentile. Female students ranked 82nd percentile, while male students ranked 41st, a gender gap. Watch math consistency, the recent graduation-rate dip, and subgroup differences. Nearby alternative or specialized programs serve smaller, often higher-need populations and are not direct benchmarks for Foley.
