Summary:
ZIP code 56347 has just one high school: Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Secondary, a grades 7–12 school in Long Prairie, Minnesota serving 466 students. It belongs to the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no local peer schools to compare it with — the useful benchmarks are its own district and Minnesota state averages.
On state tests, the school trails Minnesota in every all-grade subject. In 2025–26, 16.8% of students were proficient in math (state: 44.9%), 21.7% in reading (state: 48.6%), and 17.3% in science (state: 25.5%). Science is the relative bright spot: at 17.3% it topped the district's 14.4%, though it also dropped sharply from 23.08% the year before. Math and reading both improved year over year, and the reading gain outpaced the district and the state. Grade-level results show the biggest gaps in middle school: 8th-grade math was 12.3% proficient versus 42.3% statewide, and 8th-grade science 5.4% versus 16.7%. The high-school grade levels — 11th-grade math, 10th-grade reading, and End-of-Course science — were also below state but generally closer.
For 2024–25, the graduation rate was 80.5% (state: 84.9%), while the dropout rate was 4.1%, essentially level with the state's 4.2%. The school's ranking improved to 331 out of 473 schools (30th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, up from the 15th percentile and 1 star the year before — its strongest of the past three years, though still in the lower third of ranked schools. About 65.88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 12.7.
