Summary:
ZIP code 55939 covers Harmony, Minnesota, and contains just one public school — Fillmore Central Senior High, a combined middle and high school serving grades 7–12 with 264 students in the Fillmore Central district, which ranks 187th of 458 districts statewide. Because there is only one school here, there are no local schools to compare it against; its results are best read against its own district, against Minnesota as a whole, and against its own performance over the past two years. A free/reduced lunch rate of 30.3% and a 12.8 student-to-teacher ratio round out the picture.
Getting students to graduation is this school's clearest strength: the 2024–2025 graduation rate is 98.1%, far above Minnesota's 84.9%, and the 1.8% dropout rate is less than half the state's 4.2%. Achievement is also improving — All Grades Math rose from 23.08% to 29.9% proficient and Reading from 36.04% to 41.7%, gains made while the state's own averages slipped, narrowing the gap to the state to 15.0 points in Math and 6.9 points in Reading. The middle grades are the standout: 7th grade Reading at 56.5% beats the state by 13 points, and 8th grade Reading and 8th grade Science also land at or above state levels.
Performance drops off sharply in the upper grades. Grade 11 Math is 15% proficient against the state's 35.3%, Grade 10 Reading 22% against 42.5%, and Science End of Course 12.8% against 35% — each roughly 20 points behind. Science overall is effectively flat year over year at 16.7%, and the school's state rank has slid from 324 of 480 to 404 of 473. With roughly 44 students per grade, each student moves a grade-level result by about 2.3 points, so treat those figures as directional. Parents should weigh a strong completion record against a proficiency picture that is solid in grades 7–8 and struggling in grades 10–11.
