Summary:

ZIP code 55353 covers Kimball, Minnesota, and has two public schools — Kimball Secondary (grades 6–12, 413 students) and Kimball Elementary (PK–5, 346 students) — both part of the Kimball Public School District, which ranks 171 of 458 Minnesota districts (63rd percentile, 3 stars). There is no standalone middle school or alternative school here.

Kimball Secondary is the standout: a 4-star school for three straight years, ranking 82 of 473 high schools in 2025–26 (83rd percentile, top 17%). Its graduation rate is 94.4% versus the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 1.8% versus 4.2%. Science is its strongest subject (30.8% vs. state 25.5%), with 11th-grade math (49.1% vs. 35.3%) and 10th-grade reading (46.9% vs. 42.5%) also well above state. The main soft spot is the middle grades: 6th-grade reading is 14.5 points below state and 7th-grade math is 8.1 points below, pulling down the school's all-grade math (39.2%) and reading (43.4%), both under state averages.

Kimball Elementary is a 2-star school ranking 524 of 869 (40th percentile), below the state median. Bright spots include 4th-grade math (58.7%) and 5th-grade reading (55.0%), both above state, but 3rd-grade math (42.2% vs. 57.9%) and 5th-grade math (30.0% vs. 41.9%) lag far behind. Science is the elementary school's weakest area at 21.7%, and both math and science declined from the prior year. It also serves more students from lower-income backgrounds (30.64% free/reduced lunch vs. 20.34%) with smaller classes (12.6 students per teacher vs. 16.6). The district's 3-star rank essentially averages a strong secondary school and a struggling elementary school.
