Summary:
Zip code 56312 is served by a single public high school: Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Sec., a grades 6–12 building with 316 students in Belgrade, MN, part of the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there is no local school-to-school comparison to make; the most useful benchmarks are how the school performs against its own district and against the state of Minnesota. Note that this is a combined middle and high school, so its "all grades" numbers blend grade 6 and 7 results with high school results, which is different from a traditional 9–12 building.
The school's strongest outcomes are in completion. Its graduation rate is 94.6%, matching the district and 9.7 percentage points above the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 0.0% compared with 4.2% statewide. Reading is its most consistent academic strength: all-grade reading is 47.8%, just 0.8 points under the state's 48.6%, and the school beats state in 6th-grade reading (57.8% vs. 53.4%) and 7th-grade reading (56.1% vs. 43.5%). Seventh-grade math also edges above state at 41.5% vs. 40.3%.
Math and science are the clear concerns. All-grade math is 24.5% against the state's 44.9%, and all-grade science is 9.3% against 25.5%. The lowest results include 11th-grade math at 8.3%, 8th-grade math at 13.5%, and 8th-grade science at 2.7%. The school's rank also fell sharply, from 224th of 450 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 378th of 473 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. Science declined 7.6 points year over year even as the district improved slightly, widening that gap to nearly 10 points. With only 316 students across seven grades, individual cohorts are small and percentages can swing widely from year to year.
