Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, the best comparisons are to its district and Minnesota. Its district, Upsala Public School District, is ranked 192 of 458 (58th percentile, 3 stars), while Upsala Secondary has a strong recent ranking trend: it rose from 182 of 480 (62nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 88 of 450 (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 to 19 of 473 (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026. High school outcomes are excellent: the 2024–2025 graduation rate is 96.3%, versus 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate is 0.0%, versus 4.2% statewide. Test-score strengths include 11th grade math at 53.1% proficient versus 35.3% state, 10th grade reading at 64.7% versus 42.5% state, End-of-Course science at 47.1% versus 35% state, and all-grade science at 30.3% versus 25.5% state.
The clearest challenge is middle school math. All-grade math is 32.1% proficient versus 44.9% state, with 7th grade math at 20% versus 40.3% and 8th grade math at 12.5% versus 42.3% — nearly 30 points below the state. Reading is mixed: 10th grade is strong, but all-grade reading is 44.4% versus 48.6% state, 7th grade is 33.3% versus 43.5%, and 8th grade is 43.8% versus 50%. Science is a relative strength overall, though 8th grade science is 12.5% versus 16.7%. With only 146 students in grades 7–12, small cohorts can make year-to-year percentages swing, so families should look at multi-year patterns. Overall, this is a small, improving school with standout rankings and strong upper-grade outcomes, plus a need for targeted support in grades 7–8 math.
