Summary

Montevideo Senior High is a 9–12 high school in Montevideo, MN, serving 408 students as part of the Montevideo Public School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 244th of 473 Minnesota high schools (48th percentile, 2 stars). The most important context is its recent slide: Montevideo held 4 stars from 2021–2022 through 2023–2024, dropped to 3 stars in 2024–2025, and fell to 2 stars in 2025–2026. Completion results remain a genuine strength — a 93.1% graduation rate versus 84.9% statewide and a 3.4% dropout rate versus 4.2% statewide. About 47.8% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.2.

Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, Montevideo has an unusual split. Its 11th grade math proficiency of 38.9% beats the state's 35.3% and is the highest among nearby schools, well ahead of MACCRAY Secondary at 27.9%. But 10th grade reading proficiency is 30.5%, roughly 12 points below the state and below every nearby school, which range from 44.1% to 55.3% (Lac Qui Parle Valley Secondary, Dawson-Boyd Secondary, MACCRAY, and Yellow Medicine East Secondary). Science sits mid-pack at 31.9%, slightly under the state's 35.0%. MN River Valley Alternative Learning Center-Seatbased is nearby but serves a different population and is not a fair benchmark.

Montevideo has the highest free/reduced lunch percentage and the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby comprehensive high schools — useful context when weighing results. The decline is broad rather than confined to one group: students from low-income backgrounds fell from the 86th to the 32nd percentile, and English Language Learner students rank at the 7th percentile. Math has stayed relatively stable, while reading fell from 48.5% to 30.5% and science from 44.8% to 31.9% in a single year. The clearest opportunity is 10th grade reading: improving it while protecting math and graduation performance would likely lift the school's overall standing.
