Summary

Frazee Secondary is a public school in Frazee, MN, serving 381 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Frazee-Vergas Public School District in a small-town lakes region near Perham and Detroit Lakes.

Academically, Frazee Secondary ranked 379th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 (20th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 15.5% in math, 31.8% in reading, and 8.6% in science, versus state rates of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Nearby Perham Senior High and Detroit Lakes Senior High were far higher in math (47.3% and 53.4%), reading (57.0% and 48.0%), and science (43.4% and 51.9%). Middle school math is especially low: 7th grade 13.2% and 8th grade 15.8%, while 8th-grade science is 5.3%. Reading is below state at every reported grade, and science fell from 20% in 2024–2025 and 28.28% in 2023–2024. Subgroup results show broad challenges: female students at the 32nd percentile, low-socioeconomic students at the 19th percentile, and male students at the 7th percentile.

Graduation is a relative strength: 89.0% in 2024–2025, above Minnesota’s 84.9% and similar to Perham Senior High (88.3%) and Detroit Lakes Senior High (90.0%). But the dropout rate was 9.0%, more than double the state’s 4.2% and much higher than those schools’ 6.2% and 1.9%. Free/reduced lunch was 37.01%, down from 45.27%, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 14.6 from 17.9. The Frazee-Vergas Public School District is ranked 300th of 458 districts (34th percentile, 2 stars), while nearby Perham-Dent Public School District and Detroit Lakes Public School District are both in the 84th percentile (4 stars). Alternative schools show mixed outcomes: Perham Area Learning Center and E-Laker Online School have high graduation rates but mostly suppressed test data, while Detroit Lakes Area Learning Center has a 53.1% graduation rate, 25% dropout rate, and 0% math proficiency. The school is best compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, where the academic gap is large. Overall, strengths are the graduation rate and improving student-teacher ratio; challenges are low proficiency, especially in grades 7–8, a rising dropout rate, and wide subgroup gaps.
