Summary

Two Harbors Secondary is a grades 6–12 school with 597 students in Two Harbors, a small Lake Superior harbor town in northeastern Minnesota, and it is part of the Lake Superior Public School District. Because there are no other schools within 20 miles, the most useful comparisons come from the district and from Minnesota statewide averages.

The school's clearest strength is finishing strong: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89.7%, above the district's 88.4% and the state's 84.9%, and it has beaten the state graduation rate every year shown, including 94.1% in 2020–2021. Its dropout rate of 1.2% is far below the district's 2.8% and the state's 4.2%. Overall, Two Harbors Secondary ranks 233 of 473 Minnesota schools for 2025–2026 — 51st percentile, 3 stars — slightly above its district (48th percentile, 2 stars) and near the state median. That ranking has swung widely, from the 86th percentile in 2022–2023 down to the 46th in 2024–2025.

Academics are the main concern. In 2025–2026, 27.5% of students were proficient in math versus 44.9% statewide, 44.5% in reading versus 48.6%, and 22.4% in science versus 25.5%. Science has dropped sharply, from above the state in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to about 22% in the last two years. Results also vary by grade: 6th-grade reading is a bright spot at 66%, while 7th-grade math (20.3%) and 8th-grade science (10.7%) lag well behind the state. Low-income students now rank in the 79th percentile and special education students in the 55th, both improvements, and female students currently rank higher than male students.
