Summary

Minneota Secondary is a 7–12 school serving 296 students in the small rural town of Minneota, MN (population roughly 1,400), and is part of the Minneota Public School District — the highest-ranked district in this comparison group at 21st of 458 Minnesota districts. The school has earned 5 stars every year on record since 2015-16, placing 4th statewide in 2018-19 and between 13th and 29th from 2020-21 through 2023-24. This year it ranked 45th of 473 high schools (90th percentile) — a step back, but still comfortably in the top decile of the state.

Academically, Minneota leads every nearby school in every subject. All-grades proficiency is 49.0 in math, 50.3 in reading, and 42.7 in science, versus state figures of 44.9, 48.6, and 25.5. It is the only mainstream high school in the group above the state average in all three subjects. Science is the standout: end-of-course science reaches 62.0 against a state rate of 35.0. Lakeview Secondary trails by 14 points in math, 7 in reading, and 17 in science, while Canby Secondary, nearly identical in size, trails by 33 points in science alone.

Graduation has been a strength that is now softening: after three straight years at 100%, the rate slipped to 97.5% and then 93.4%, and the dropout rate moved from zero to 6.5% — above the state (4.2%) and above Canby (0.0) and Lakeview (3.8%). With roughly 50 students per grade, that shift reflects only a few individuals, so the direction is worth watching rather than a settled pattern. Notably, low-income students here have historically performed at the school's overall level, ranking in the 99th percentile in 2017-18 and 2018-19. Grade-level results show 11th-grade math at 54.0 (state 35.3) and 8th-grade reading at 62.3, with 7th-grade reading at 41.7 — the only reported figure below the state average.
