Summary

Mora High School is a public school in Mora, MN, serving grades 7–12 with 743 students as part of Mora Public Schools.

In 2025–26, Mora High ranked 132nd of 473 Minnesota high schools, placing it in the 72nd percentile with 4 stars—well above nearby regular high schools such as Braham Area Secondary (55th percentile), Pine City Secondary (54th), Isle Secondary (49th), and Ogilvie Secondary (43rd). Reading is a clear strength: 52.5% of all grades were proficient, above the state’s 48.6% and far above nearby regular high schools, though reading has dipped from 59.08% in 2024–25 and 59.77% in 2023–24. Math is solid locally but trails the state and district: all-grades math was 41.1%, compared with 44.9% statewide and 51.4% in the district; 7th and 8th grade math were above both, while 11th grade math was 27.5%, below the state’s 35.3%. Science was 26.8%, slightly above the state’s 25.5% and near the top locally, but it is uneven: End of Course science was 39.0%, while 8th grade science was 14.2%, below the state’s 16.7%.

For 2024–25, Mora High’s graduation rate was 89.4%, above the district’s 86.8% and the state’s 84.9%, and its 2.2% dropout rate was the lowest among nearby regular high schools and roughly half the state’s 4.2%. The school’s low-income subgroup rank improved to the 84th percentile in 2025–26 from the 68th percentile in 2023–24. Special Education service was exceptionally high in 2024–25 at the 96th percentile, then moderated to the 60th percentile in 2025–26. With 743 students, a 36.47% free/reduced lunch rate, and a 15.9 student–teacher ratio, Mora High’s results are not simply explained by much lower poverty or much smaller classes than nearby regular schools. Nearby alternative schools such as Mora Alternative Learning Center serve different populations and are not direct comparisons; it reported 54.5% graduation, 27.2% dropout, and 0% math proficiency, with reading and science suppressed. Overall, Mora High is a top-quartile regional school with strong reading, low dropout, and notable low-income results, but parents may want to watch the recent reading dip, the math gap with state and district, 11th-grade math, and science volatility.
