Summary

Luverne Senior High is a public school serving grades 9–12 with 351 students in the Luverne Public School District in Luverne, a small city in southwestern Minnesota, and it is the largest school in its local comparison group. The school ranked 190th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 60th percentile with 3 stars — a drop from 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025. That gap matters, because the district as a whole ranks in the 87th percentile, so the high school's current standing sits below the district's overall profile.

There is a lot to like here. Eleventh-grade math proficiency is 51.2%, well above Minnesota's 35.3% for that grade, above Edgerton Secondary at 50.0%, and far above Adrian Secondary at 24.2%. The graduation rate is 90.2%, above the state's 84.9% and tied with Adrian. The free/reduced-lunch rate of 24.22% is comparatively low for the area, and the 13:1 student-teacher ratio is in line with nearby schools. Students from low-income families ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide, higher than the school's overall rank, which suggests the school serves those students relatively well.

The main academic concern is reading. Tenth-grade reading proficiency is 35.1%, below the state's 42.5% and below every nearby school with reported data — Hills-Beaver Creek Secondary and Ellsworth Secondary each scored around 69%. End-of-course science is 30.7%, below the state benchmark of 35.0%. Hills-Beaver Creek Secondary is the clear regional standout at the 99th percentile with a 96.4% graduation rate, despite poverty and staffing figures similar to Luverne's. In short, Luverne remains a solid school with strong math, good graduation outcomes, and effective work with low-income students, but reading and science are the areas to watch and ask about.

Lunches here suck. They don't do anything about bullying or discrimination. I once watch a boy rip off a girls hijab and he only got a lunch detention for it. I've also heard kids say the n slur, r slur, and call the same girl from before a terrorist. None of these kids have been punished in any way. Close Quote
