Best High Schools in Zip Code 56110

ZIP code 56110 in Adrian, Minnesota is home to a single high school, Adrian Secondary, which serves grades 9–12 with 155 students as part of the Adrian Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, the most useful comparisons are between Adrian Secondary and its own district, the state, and its performance in prior years. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 12.8, and 35.48% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Science is the school's clearest academic strength. In 2024–2025, science proficiency was 50% at the school, far above the district's 27.64% and the state's 26.15%. In 2025–2026 science came in at 34.8%, still about 9 points above the state's All Grades figure, though essentially tied with the state's End of Course average of 35%. Math is the weakest area: 24.2% in 2025–2026 versus 44.9% statewide, and 27.78% versus 45.21% in 2024–2025. Reading fell from 48.48%, nearly matching the state, to 35.6%, about 13 points below state; note the test changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV, so that comparison may not be perfectly equivalent. The high school's "All Grades" results largely mirror the single tested grade level.

Outcomes are mixed. The graduation rate of 90.2% beats the state's 84.9%, but the dropout rate of 9.7% is more than double the state's 4.2%. The school's ranking has slipped from the 54th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, while the district overall sits in the 65th percentile with 3 stars. With only 155 students, small changes in cohort size can move percentages by several points, so single-year swings should be read with caution.
