Summary

Goodhue Secondary is a public school in Goodhue, Minnesota, serving about 362 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Goodhue Public School District, a small community in Goodhue County within easy reach of Red Wing and Zumbrota.

The school's strongest result is completion: graduation rates have ranged from 92% to 100% over the past five years, and the dropout rate was 0.0% in 2024–2025, compared with 4.2% statewide. Science is the most reliable academic strength, with proficiency above the state average for four straight years (35.7% vs. 25.5% in 2025–2026). Math is the persistent weak spot — below the state every year, though the gap has narrowed from roughly 17 points in 2022–2023 to about 8 points in 2025–2026. Eleventh-grade math (24.3% vs. 35.3% state) and 10th-grade reading (37.9% vs. 42.5%) lag, while 7th-grade math and reading are above state. Reading has been uneven, swinging from above state in 2024–2025 (55.08%) to below in 2025–2026 (45.4%).

Compared with nearby schools, Goodhue outperforms Red Wing Senior High in all three subjects and in graduation and dropout rates, and clearly outpaces the alternative and correctional programs nearby — Tower View ALP, Pathways Program Grades 8-12, 5RiversOnline Secondary, and MCF-Red Wing Maginnis High School — which serve specialized populations. Against Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High, the closest high-performing peer, the picture is mixed: Goodhue is competitive in math and graduation but trails in reading and science. The school's own rank (54th percentile, 3 stars) also sits below its district's rank (77th percentile, 4 stars). One thing to watch is class size: the student-teacher ratio rose from 17.7 to 20.9 over three years, the highest among nearby reporting schools.
