Summary:
ZIP code 56360 covers Osakis, Minnesota, and contains two public schools — Osakis Elementary serving grades PK–6 and Osakis Secondary serving grades 7–12 — both part of the Osakis Public School District, with 887 students combined and no standalone middle school.
Osakis Elementary is the stronger school academically, at 4 stars and 139th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (84th percentile). Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency is 72 in math, 62.6 in reading, and 29 in science, beating the state's 44.9, 48.6, and 25.5. Grade-level highlights include 3rd grade math at 80.4 versus the state's 57.9 and 4th grade reading at 74 versus 48.8. The main soft spot is 3rd grade reading, at 38.6 versus the state's 46.8. Reading and math both improved from 2024–2025, when the school posted 57.48 in reading and 68.5 in math.
Osakis Secondary is rated 3 stars, ranked 182 of 473 high schools (62nd percentile). Its completion outcomes are a bright spot: a 95.8% graduation rate and 1.3% dropout rate, far better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Academically it is more mixed — math at 52 is above the state's 44.9 but below the district's 62.9, while reading (41.7) and science (22.1) trail both. Science is the biggest concern, falling from 33.09 the prior year, with 8th grade science at 7.6 versus the state's 16.7. Both schools serve similar student populations — 35.81% and 32.05% free/reduced lunch, with student-teacher ratios of 14.6 and 15.7 — so those factors do not explain the roughly 20-point math and reading gap between the two schools.
