Wrenshall Secondary is the standout. It ranks 59 of 473 high schools statewide (88th percentile, 4 stars) and has climbed sharply from 217 of 480 just two years earlier. Graduation is 92.3% versus the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate is 0.0% versus 4.2% statewide. Reading is above state in every tested grade (7th 52.0%, 8th 59.1%, 10th 52.6%), and science shines: 42.5% all grades versus 25.5% statewide, including 72.2% on End of Course science versus 35.0%. All-grades math lags at 38.6% versus 44.9%, though 8th-grade math (52.4%) and 11th-grade math (37.5%) beat state, while 7th-grade math (28.0% vs 40.3%) is a clear gap.

Wrenshall Elementary is more mid-pack: 429 of 869 schools (51st percentile, 3 stars), with rank bouncing between 41st and 52nd percentile over three years. Math is its strength (50.5% vs 44.9% state), led by 6th-grade math (60.0% vs 39.5%) and 6th-grade reading (70.0% vs 53.4%). But science is very weak (16.7% vs 25.5% state), and 5th-grade math (20.8% vs 41.9%) is a major gap. Note both schools are small, so grade-level percentages can swing on just a few students.
