Summary:
ZIP code 55974 covers Spring Grove, Minnesota, where two public schools — Spring Grove Elementary (PK–6, 186 students) and Spring Grove Secondary (grades 7–12, 163 students) — enroll 349 students in total and serve the full PK–12 span within the Spring Grove School District. There is no separate middle school, so grades 7–8 sit inside the secondary school, and no alternative schools are listed in this ZIP.
Spring Grove Elementary is the stronger academic performer of the two. It earned 4 stars in each of the last three years while climbing from the 74th to the 85th percentile statewide, and in 2025–2026 it beat both the district and the state in math (69.8% vs 63.8% district and 44.9% state), reading (62.1% vs 59.8% and 48.6%) and science (31% vs 24% and 25.5%). Its science score did slip from 41.18% the year before, which is worth watching. Spring Grove Secondary scored below the district in all three subjects in 2025–2026, so the district's top-10% standing (43rd of 458 districts, 91st percentile, 5 stars) leans heavily on the elementary school.
Spring Grove Secondary has real strengths alongside its uneven results. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95.1% against the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate was 2.4% against the state's 4.2%. Rank has swung widely — 61st percentile, then 29th percentile with 1 star, then 81st percentile with 4 stars — driven largely by math jumping from 23.75% to 54.2%. Science is the clearest concern: secondary science was 19.6% overall, with 8th-grade science at 3.7% versus the state's 16.7%, though End of Course science was 42.1% versus 35%. The secondary school's student-teacher ratio is also higher, at 18.0 versus 13.3 at the elementary, while free/reduced lunch rates are similar at roughly 29–31%.
