Summary

Fulda Secondary is a small public school in Fulda, MN, serving about 157 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Fulda Public School District in a rural southwestern Minnesota community.

In 2025–2026, Fulda Secondary ranked 279/473 (41st percentile, 2 stars) among Minnesota schools, while its district ranked 235/458 (49th percentile, 2 stars). The school has had a higher peak—108/476 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2022–2023—but has since been in the middle-to-lower-middle range. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 40.13% in 2024–2025, down from 50% in 2022–2023, and its student–teacher ratio rose to 15.2 from 12.9. The graduation rate was 80.7% in 2024–2025, below Minnesota’s 84.9%, though the dropout rate was 3.8%, below the state’s 4.2%. Compared with nearby schools, Murray County Central High School stands out with a 78th-percentile rank, 95.9% graduation, and higher math, reading, and science. Westbrook-Walnut Grove Secondary has higher math, reading, and graduation, but lower science, and Fulda’s school-level rank was slightly higher. The school generally outperforms Worthington Senior High, Heron Lake-Okabena Secondary, and Learning Center in overall outcomes, while its poverty rate is lower than most nearby schools except Murray County Central High School.

Science is Fulda’s relative academic bright spot: all-grade science proficiency was 25.5% in 2025–2026, matching the state, after being above state in 2024–2025 and 2023–2024. Math is a persistent weakness, with all-grade proficiency at 25% in 2025–2026 and gaps such as 8th-grade math at 21.7% vs. 42.3% statewide and 7th-grade math at 26.9% vs. 40.3%. Reading is volatile and currently low: it reached 46.91% in 2023–2024, then fell to 26.3% in 2025–2026, more than 22 points below the state’s 48.6%; 7th-grade reading was 15.4% vs. 43.5% statewide. The graduation rate also slipped below state in 2024–2025 after several years above it. For parents, the main improvement levers are math and reading, especially in grades 7–8, while protecting science strength and watching the graduation trend.
