Summary:
Zip code 56266 is served by a single school — Cedar Mountain Middle/High School — a grade 6–12 school with 219 students in the Cedar Mountain School District, so there are no other local schools to compare against and the useful benchmark is the state.
One of the strongest points is completion: the graduation rate is 91.1%, above the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate is 2.2%, below the state's 4.2%. The school's state rank also improved noticeably, moving from 387 of 450 in 2024–25 (14th percentile, 1 star) to 322 of 473 in 2025–26 (32nd percentile, 2 stars). The district itself is ranked 252 of 458, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars, so the school currently sits below its own district's overall position and below the state median.
Test scores improved in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26 while the state slightly declined: reading rose 12.91 points, science 11.94 points, and math 4.88 points at the all-grades level. Even so, all-grades reading is 43.3% against the state's 48.6%, math is 31.6% against 44.9%, and science is 17.6% against 25.5%. Grade-level results show where the gaps concentrate: 11th-grade math is 12% versus the state's 35.3%, 8th-grade science is 7.1% versus 16.7%, and 10th-grade reading is 30.4% versus 42.5%. Grades 6–8 math and 6th–8th reading are much closer to state levels, and 7th-grade reading matches the state exactly at 43.5%. With 219 students across grades 6–12, individual grade percentages rest on small groups, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution. The school reports 45.21% free/reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1; no state or district comparison for that ratio is provided.
