SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 473 Minnesota High Schools

Better than 13% of Minnesota high schools

Summary

Worthington Senior High is a grades 9–12 school serving 1,118 students in the Worthington Public School District in Worthington, MN — by far the largest school in its area, roughly seven to eight times bigger than the nearby comprehensive high schools in Adrian, Fulda, and Heron Lake-Okabena.

Overall standing is low: in 2025–2026 the school ranked 411 of 473 Minnesota high schools, in the 13th percentile with 1 star, down from the 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2015–2016. Its district ranks 372 of 458, in the 19th percentile with 1 star. Test results are weak: 9.3% of 11th graders were proficient in math, 27.4% of 10th graders in reading, and 6.5% in End-of-Course science. Science fell from 25.53% in 2022–2023 to 6.5% in 2025–2026, and math dropped from 17.77% to 9.3%. For comparison, Adrian Secondary posted 24.2% math, 35.6% reading and 34.8% science; Fulda Secondary 26.7%, 29.6% and 33.3%; and Heron Lake-Okabena Secondary 21.1%, 22.2% and 12.0%. State rates were 35.3%, 42.5% and 35.0%. About 60.47% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, well above Adrian (35.48%), Fulda (40.13%) and Heron Lake-Okabena (45.26%).

Graduation and dropout are major concerns. In 2024–2025, 66.2% of students graduated and 22.6% dropped out, versus state rates of 84.9% and 4.2% — the weakest year in the five-year window, which also included 83.4% graduation in both 2020–2021 and 2023–2024. The student/teacher ratio is 17.5, higher than Adrian (12.8), Fulda (15.2) and Heron Lake-Okabena (13.6). No major student group performs near the state median, with special education students at the 8th percentile, female students at the 9th, low-income students at the 11th and English Language Learner students at the 15th. Same-district alternatives such as Learning Center and Virtual Instruction by Excellence S serve different populations and are not direct comparisons. The pattern points to broad academic and completion challenges across subjects and student groups.
