Summary:
ZIP code 55975 covers Spring Valley, Minnesota, and contains just one high school in this data set: Kingsland Junior/Senior High School, a grades 7–12 campus of 218 students in the Kingsland Public School District. Because it is the only high school here, there are no in-town comparisons to make — everything below describes Kingsland itself. One thing to keep in mind is that the school spans grades 7 and 8 as well as high school, so some reported "high school" results are actually blended middle- and high-school numbers.
The strongest results are in completion and in the middle grades. Kingsland's graduation rate is 92.1%, well above the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 2.6% versus 4.2% statewide. Eighth-grade reading is a clear bright spot at 65.8% proficient against the state's 50.0%, and seventh-grade math is 51.7% versus 40.3%. All-grade reading sits at 50.5%, slightly ahead of the state's 48.6%, and all-grade math improved from 29.2% to 38.8% year over year, though it still trails the state's 44.9%.
The challenges are concentrated in science and the upper grades. All-grade science proficiency is 14.7% versus the state's 25.5%, End-of-Course science is 20% versus 35%, and eighth-grade science is 10.5% versus 16.7% — a sharp drop from the prior year's 25.81%. Eleventh-grade math (25.8% vs. 35.3%) and tenth-grade reading (33.3% vs. 42.5%) also lag the state. The school's ranking has slipped from 223rd of 480 (54th percentile, 3 stars) to 307th of 473 (35th percentile, 2 stars), even as the district holds 3 stars at 180th of 458. That gap suggests other district schools and grade levels are performing more strongly than this 7–12 campus.
