Summary:
ZIP code 56088 contains exactly one high school: Truman Secondary, a grades 7–12 school in Truman, MN, serving 93 students as part of the Truman Public School District. That works out to roughly 15–16 students per grade, so the school is very small and percentages can swing sharply on just one or two students.
Truman Secondary's strongest results are in outcomes and science. Its graduation rate was 93.7% versus Minnesota's 84.9%, and the dropout rate was 0.0% against a state rate of 4.2%. Science proficiency reached 34% (All Grades) versus 25.5% statewide, and 44.1% at the End-of-Course level versus 35%. Tenth-grade reading also beat the state, 50% to 42.5%. The school's state rank climbed from 297 of 450 (34th percentile, 2 stars) to 159 of 473 (66th percentile, 3 stars), a 138-position jump that places it ahead of its own district's standing (263 of 458, 43rd percentile, 2 stars).
Math is the clear weakness, and it is worsening. All-Grades math proficiency was 12.8%, 32.1 points below the state's 44.9% and down from 25.58% the prior year, with 0% of 11th graders proficient against a state rate of 35.3%.

About 54.84% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 10:1 — outcomes here run ahead of the school's economic context even as math and reading lag behind.
