Summary

Little Falls Senior High is a grade 9–12 comprehensive high school serving 747 students in Little Falls, Minnesota — the largest enrollment among the nearby schools reviewed — and is part of Little Falls Community Schools. The school ranked 148 of 473 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-2026, well above its district's 43rd percentile (2 stars) and its own 34th percentile the prior year, marking its best result since 2015-2016.

Science is the clearest academic strength: 39.9% of students were proficient on End-of-Course science in 2025-2026, above the district (38.3%) and state (35.0%), and higher than Royalton High School (37.7%), Healy Secondary (35.8%), Swanville Secondary (0%), and Little Falls Continuing Education (16.7%). Grade-level results are also encouraging: 11th-grade math proficiency was 39.6%, above the district (32.7%) and state (35.3%), and 10th-grade reading was 40.9%, close to the state (42.5%) and above the district (40.4%). These grade-specific exams are more directly comparable than all-grade averages, which make the school look further behind. Healy Secondary generally outperformed in math and reading, while WIN-High School suppressed most test data, so it cannot be fully compared.

Graduation is strong at 90.8% in 2024-2025, above the district (79.9%) and state (84.9%), though Royalton High School (97.4%), Healy Secondary (94.5%), and Swanville Secondary (92.0%) were higher. The 4.8% dropout rate beats the district (6.2%) but trails the state (4.2%) and those three schools. Most student groups improved sharply in 2025-2026, but special education ranked in the 16th percentile (down from 36) — the school's clearest effectiveness gap. About 33.33% of students receive free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.6.
