Summary:
ZIP code 56520 has a single public high school option: Breckenridge Middle/High School, a grades 7–12 school with 311 students in Breckenridge, Minnesota, part of the Breckenridge Public School District.
Because it is the only school in the area, there is nothing to compare it against locally, but its profile against the district and state is mixed. Completion outcomes are a relative strength: the graduation rate is 90.2%, essentially even with the district's 90.5% and above Minnesota's 84.9%, while the dropout rate of 3.9% is close to the district's 3.7% and below the state's 4.2%. Current-year academics are the bigger concern. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 29.0% in math, 30.1% in reading and 21.1% in science, all below state averages, and each subject fell sharply from 2024–2025 (math 37.5%, reading 46.21%, science 38.71%). The brightest current result is 8th grade math at 47.4%, above the state's 42.3%, while 7th grade is the weakest area: 17.6% in math versus the state's 40.3% and 20.6% in reading versus 43.5%. The school is rated 2 stars and sits around the 34th–35th percentile statewide, down from the 50th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024.
For parents, the takeaway is a split picture: students here finish high school at rates better than the state average, and 8th grade math is a genuine strength. However, most current test scores trail state averages by wide margins in the middle grades, and the year-over-year declines in reading and science are worth asking about directly. The student-teacher ratio is 13.3, and 38.59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
