Summary

Litchfield Senior High is a public high school in Litchfield, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 448 students as part of the Litchfield Public School District. The district ranks 130th of 458 Minnesota districts (72nd percentile, 4 stars), while the school itself ranks 110th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 — the 77th percentile, or 4 stars, placing it in the top quarter of high schools statewide.

The school's clearest strength is completion: its 95.9% graduation rate is the highest among nearby comprehensive high schools and well above the state's 84.9%, and its 3.0% dropout rate is below the state's 4.2%. In academics, science proficiency of 37.2% is well above the state's 25.5%, and math proficiency of 47.3% is above the state's 44.9%; reading, at 48.0%, is essentially at the state's 48.6%. Compared with similar-size neighbors Kimball Secondary, Eden Valley Secondary, and A.C.G.C. Secondary, Litchfield posts higher math, reading, and science proficiency and a higher graduation rate — even though it serves a higher-poverty population (29.24% free/reduced lunch) than Kimball and Eden Valley. Dassel-Cokato Senior High is the regional benchmark, with higher proficiency in all three subjects, but Litchfield has the higher graduation rate (95.9% vs. 89.7%).

Families should expect some year-to-year variation. Litchfield was exceptionally strong in 2024–2025 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and sat at the 60th percentile in 2023–2024, so its current 77th percentile is solid but not its peak. Science has declined from 51.85% in 2022–2023 to 37.2% now, and one reported math figure (3.57% in 2023–2024) is an anomaly against every other year. Its strongest subgroup result is for low-SES students (77th percentile, 4 stars). Note that nearby alternative programs such as Wings Alternative Program and Litchfield Area Learning Program serve very different populations and are not direct academic comparisons.
