Summary:
Zip code 56727 is served by two public schools, both in the Grygla Public School District and both located at the same address in Grygla, Minnesota: Grygla Elementary (PK–6, 68 students) and Grygla Secondary (7–12, 67 students). Together they enroll about 135 students, so this is a very small PK–12 campus with no separate middle school. The district is ranked 382 out of 458 Minnesota districts, at the 17th percentile with 1 star.
Comparing the two schools, Grygla Elementary generally posted stronger 2025–2026 all-grades results: 33.3% proficient in math and 34.2% in reading, above the district and above Grygla Secondary (30.6% math, 28.6% reading). Both remain below state averages. Science is the clearest academic concern, especially at the elementary school, which reported 0% proficient in all-grades science and 0% in 5th grade, versus 25.5% statewide. Grygla Secondary did better in science (18.2%, above its district but below the state) and stands out most for completion: a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, against 84.9% and 4.2% statewide.
Other differences: 46.27% of Grygla Secondary students qualify for free/reduced lunch versus 29.41% at Grygla Elementary, yet the secondary school has the strongest completion metrics. Both report a favorable 8.5 student-teacher ratio. Recent rankings declined for both schools, and with such small enrollments, percentages shift easily and many grade-level values are suppressed. Treat year-to-year changes as signals to investigate rather than firm trends.
