Summary:
ZIP code 55066 contains five high schools serving grades 7 through 12, with a combined enrollment of 1,096 students. The area's schools span three agencies: Red Wing Public School District, Goodhue County Education District, and the Minnesota Department of Corrections. One large comprehensive high school serves most students, while the other four are small online, alternative-learning, or correctional-program settings.
Red Wing Senior High enrolls 762 students, nearly 70% of the ZIP's high-school total, and is the academic anchor. Its 90.8% graduation rate is the clearest bright spot: it beats both its district (86.0%) and Minnesota (84.9%), and it is the only outcome in this list above the state benchmark. Its dropout rate of 4.9% is slightly above the state's 4.2% but below its district's 5.2%. Test proficiency, though, trails the state in every reported subject — math 26.9% vs 44.9%, reading 29.5% vs 48.6%, and science 13.1% vs 25.5% — and also falls below its own district averages. It reports the highest student/teacher ratio here, 16.8, and its ranking has recently sat near the bottom quartile: percentile 26 in 2025–26, 24 in 2024–25, after 40 in 2023–24.
The remaining schools are far smaller, with limited or suppressed data. 5RiversOnline Secondary (188 students) graduates 65.7%, above its district's 59.7% but well below the state, and its reading and science results are suppressed by the state. Tower View ALP (62 students) graduates 63.3% and reports 0% math, 7.7% reading, and 0% science. MCF-Red Wing Maginnis High School (53 students) has no current test, graduation, or dropout data and the highest free/reduced lunch share at 94.34%. Pathways Program Grades 8-12 (31 students) has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 5.2, with math suppressed and science at 0%. Suppressed values should be read as unknown, not zero. Across the ZIP, reported proficiency generally sits below Minnesota averages, while Red Wing Senior High's graduation rate stands out.
