Summary:

ZIP code 56345 in central Minnesota is home to three high schools serving grades 9–12, enrolling 873 students combined, and split between Little Falls Community Schools and the Mid-State Education District. Enrollment is heavily concentrated: Little Falls Senior High has 747 students (about 85.6% of the ZIP code's high school enrollment), Little Falls Continuing Education has 112, and WIN-High School has just 14.

Little Falls Senior High is the largest school and the strongest performer overall. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 90.8%, above the district's 79.9% and the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate was 4.8%. It improved sharply in the 2025–26 rankings to 148 of 473 schools (69th percentile, 3 stars) from 299 of 450 the year before. Its 2025–26 science proficiency was 39.9%, above the district's 25% and the state's 25.5%, and its 11th-grade math proficiency of 39.6% was above the state's 35.3%. Its all-grade math and reading rates, however, sit below state all-grade rates.

Little Falls Continuing Education faces substantial challenges: a 41.5% graduation rate, an 11.3% dropout rate, bottom-decile rank (425 of 473, 1 star), math proficiency of 3.2% in 2025–26 and 0% in 2024–25, science at 16.7%, and the highest student-teacher ratio at 25.7. WIN-High School is tiny, has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (78.57%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (4.2), but its math and science scores are suppressed by the state — unknown, not evidence of weakness — so its academics cannot be judged here. Note also that Little Falls Continuing Education's 2025–26 reading score is suppressed as well.
