Summary

Learning Center is a small public high school in Worthington, MN, serving grades 7–12 with 82 students as part of the Worthington Public School District in southwestern Minnesota. Statewide, it ranks 466 of 473 schools in 2025–2026 — the 1st percentile, with 0 stars — and its rank history shows percentiles between 0 and 8 across every year available, so this is a long-standing pattern rather than a one-year dip.

Test scores are among the lowest in Minnesota: 0% proficient in math, 4.8% in reading, and 0% in science in 2025–2026, below every nearby school. Reading has declined from 14.71% in 2022–2023. Graduation and dropout numbers tell a different story: in 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 76.1%, above the district's 67.0% but below the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate was 5.9%, far below the district's 19.0%. Worthington Senior High posted 66.2% graduation and 22.6% dropout the same year, and Virtual Instruction by Excellence S, on the same campus, reported 27.2% graduation and 18.1% dropout despite much higher reading proficiency. Nearby Heron Lake-Okabena Secondary (86.9%), Fulda Secondary (80.7%), and Adrian Secondary (90.2%) had higher graduation rates.

Learning Center serves the highest-poverty population among these schools — 74.39% eligible for free/reduced lunch — while having the lowest student-teacher ratio, 6.4. Subgroup results are mostly in the bottom few percentiles, with English Language Learner students the one relative bright spot (15th percentile, 1 star in 2025–2026, down from 38th percentile in 2023–2024). Because enrollment is only 82, percentages can swing widely, and several 7th- and 8th-grade scores were suppressed by the state, so those are unknown rather than zero.
