Summary

Kimball Secondary is a public school in Kimball, MN, serving about 413 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Kimball Public School District. In 2025–2026 it earned a 4-star rating and ranked 82nd out of 473 Minnesota high schools, in the 83rd percentile—well above its district’s 171st out of 458 districts, in the 63rd percentile. Its completion metrics are a major strength: a 94.4% graduation rate in 2024–2025 versus Minnesota’s 84.9%, and a 1.8% dropout rate versus the state’s 4.2%.

Academically, results are mixed by grade level. Kimball’s all-grade math score was 39.2%, below the state’s 44.9% and its district’s 41.4%; reading was 43.4%, below the state’s 48.6%; science was 30.8%, above the state’s 25.5%. High school-level results are stronger: 11th-grade math was 49.1% versus the state’s 35.3%, 10th-grade reading was 46.9% versus 42.5%, and End-of-Course science was 42.9% versus 35.0%. The all-grade averages appear pulled down by grades 6–7, where 6th-grade reading was 38.9% versus the state’s 53.4% and 7th-grade math was 32.2% versus 40.3%. Nearby, Annandale Senior High has higher test proficiency, but Kimball has better graduation and dropout numbers; Eden Valley Secondary is a close peer.

Completion is Kimball’s clearest advantage over comparable regular high schools. Subgroup results vary: female students ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide in 2025–2026, male students in the 69th percentile, special education students in the 38th percentile, and the one available low-socio-economic measure, from 2022–2023, was in the 26th percentile. The overall 4-star rating therefore masks meaningful gaps. The school’s free/reduced lunch rate was 20.34% in 2024–2025, and its student-teacher ratio improved to 16.6. Alternative, online, and special-education settings such as Rocori Online Learning Site, Rocori Alternative Learning Center, and Sholund School for Girls serve very different populations and are not fair comparisons. Overall, Kimball is a solidly above-average Minnesota high school with exceptional completion metrics and strong high school-level test performance, though middle-school math/reading and some subgroup gaps are areas to watch.
