Summary:
ZIP code 56266 in Morgan, MN is home to a single listed high school: Cedar Mountain Middle/High School, a combined middle and high school serving grades 6–12 with 219 students, part of the Cedar Mountain School District. Because it is the only school in the area, there is no local comparison to make — everything families need to know sits in this one school's profile. It has a student/teacher ratio of 14.1 and 45.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (2024–25). The district is ranked 252 of 458 statewide, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars.
The school's strongest results are in completion, not test scores. Its graduation rate of 91.1% is above Minnesota's 84.9%, and its dropout rate of 2.2% is less than half the state's 4.2%. Test scores are below state averages but are clearly improving: all-grade math rose from 26.72% to 31.6%, reading from 30.39% to 43.3%, and science from 5.66% to 17.6% between 2024–25 and 2025–26. The school's rank moved from 387 of 450 (14th percentile, 1 star) to 322 of 473 (32nd percentile, 2 stars). Reading is the relative bright spot, only 5.3 percentage points below state, with 7th-grade reading exactly at the state level (43.5%) and 6th grade at 50% vs. the state's 53.4%.
Science is the clearest academic weakness: 17.6% for all grades vs. the state's 25.5%, with 8th-grade science very low at 7.1% vs. 16.7%. Eleventh-grade math is a major outlier at 12% vs. the state's 35.3%, and 10th-grade reading is 30.4% vs. 42.5%. Middle-school math, by contrast, is close to state in grades 6–8. With roughly 31 students per grade, single students can shift percentages several points, so year-to-year swings and grade-level figures deserve caution. Overall: recent upward momentum, strong completion outcomes, solid middle-grade reading, but watch science, 8th-grade science, 11th-grade math, and 10th-grade reading.
