Summary

Red Wing Senior High is a public school in Red Wing, Minnesota — a Mississippi River town in Goodhue County — serving grades 8 through 12 with 762 students, making it the largest school in its comparison group and the main comprehensive high school for the Red Wing Public School District, which ranks 364 of 458 Minnesota districts (21st percentile, 1 star).

The school ranks 352 of 473 statewide in 2025–2026 (26th percentile, 1 star), a sharp drop from 85th percentile and 4 stars in 2022–2023. Test proficiency is below the state in every reported 2025–2026 subject and grade level: math 26.9%, reading 29.5%, and science 13.1%. Science is the weakest and fastest-worsening subject, down from 33.33% in 2022–2023, with 8th-grade science at just 8.8%. Tenth-grade reading is a major concern at 20.6%, far below the state's 42.5%. Eleventh-grade math (27.3%) is a relative bright spot, above the district and Goodhue Secondary (24.3%). Still, among the most comparable nearby comprehensive high schools, Red Wing trails Lincoln Secondary and Goodhue in math and reading.

Graduation is a relative strength at 90.8%, above the district (86.0%) and state (84.9%), though below Lincoln (97.2%) and Goodhue (98.2%). The dropout rate of 4.9% is above the state's 4.2%. Reported subgroup effectiveness is low — every group ranks 1 star or 0 stars, with special education at the 3rd percentile and low-income students at the 18th percentile. About 30.58% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is better than both Lincoln and Goodhue, so class size alone does not explain the gaps. Red Wing outperforms smaller alternative, online, and correctional settings such as Tower View ALP, 5RiversOnline Secondary, and MCF-Red Wing Maginnis High School, but trails its comprehensive neighbors overall.
