Summary

Lewiston-Altura Secondary is a public secondary school in Lewiston, Minnesota, serving roughly 337 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Lewiston-Altura Public School District.

The school is on a clear upward path. It ranked 117th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 — the 75th percentile with 4 stars — up from 298th of 476 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2022–2023. All-grade proficiency now tops the state in math (48.3% vs 44.9%), reading (58.3% vs 48.6%), and science (36% vs 25.5%), though it trails district-wide results in math and science. Middle school grades are a standout: 8th-grade math is 64.9% and 8th-grade science 29.7%, both far above state averages, and 10th-grade reading is 59.6% vs 42.5% statewide. The clearest gap is 11th-grade math at 29.8%, below the state's 35.3%, along with 6th-grade reading at 51.2% vs 53.4%. The school also ranks in the 81st percentile for effectiveness with low-income students, up from the 43rd–45th percentile a few years ago.

Compared with nearby schools, Lewiston-Altura generally outpaces Chatfield Secondary, Rushford-Peterson Senior High, and Winona Senior High on all-grade math, reading, and science. Dover-Eyota High School is the top local benchmark, with a 97th-percentile rank, 100% graduation, and a 0.0% dropout rate, though its free/reduced lunch rate of 14.15% is much lower than Lewiston-Altura's 32.64%. St. Charles Secondary, the closest listed school, ranks higher overall, but the comparison is mixed: Lewiston-Altura has higher all-grade math and reading, while St. Charles is stronger in 11th-grade math and end-of-course science. Graduation is strong at 96.4% vs the state's 84.9%, with a 1.7% dropout rate, and the student-teacher ratio of 10.6 is notably low. Because the school serves grades 6–12 while some neighbors serve grades 9–12 or 7–12, all-grade figures mix different grade levels.

This is the worse school you can send your child to. The Superintendent there does not know how to run a school there has been a lot of students who have left there due to the way she treats the students and parents. Your child will not get the help they need at this school and if there special ed she will try and force you to have your student go to another school. She was paid to leave a school in the best interest of the students and this school hired her now our students are being mistreated. Close Quote

Lewiston High School has a ton of issues between staff and parents. The principal does NOT support parents & families, and there is a big problem with communication overall. This school does not provide a safe learning environment, as bullying is ignored and overlooked. The students often complain about the ease of coursework and the reputation of the school has suffered. Beware of this school, you will not find support for your family here! Close Quote
