Summary:
ZIP code 56019 covers Comfrey, Minnesota, and contains a single high school: Comfrey Secondary, a grades 7–12 school with 47 students in the Comfrey Public School District.
Because there is only one school here, the most useful comparison is against its district and the state. Comfrey Secondary's completion results are excellent: a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, both far better than Minnesota's 84.9% and 4.2%. Its student-teacher ratio of 8.6 is very low, suggesting small classes and more individual attention, and 40.43% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is useful context when reading achievement data. The caution is size: with 47 students in grades 7–12, a single cohort can swing results sharply. The school's state ranking has also slipped, from the 51st percentile and 3 stars in 2021–2022 to the 18th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024, or 392 of 480. The district, by contrast, sits at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars.
Academically, results are below both district and state in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, 25% of students were proficient in math, 45% in reading, and 8.3% in science, compared with state rates of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Reading is the relative bright spot and improved from 33.33% the prior year, while math and science declined. Many grade-level scores are suppressed by the state and shown as "—," so those values should be treated as unknown rather than as evidence of weakness. The overall picture is a tension worth noting: strong graduation and dropout outcomes alongside lagging proficiency, especially in science.
