Best High Schools in Zip Code 56727

ZIP code 56727 contains exactly one high school: Grygla Secondary, a grades 7–12 school with 67 students in Grygla, Minnesota. It is part of the Grygla Public School District. Because it is the only school in this ZIP code, it is by definition the standout school in the area, and its data tell a mixed but understandable story: very strong completion outcomes, a small-classroom setting, and academic proficiency that generally trails the state.

The strongest results are in completion and school size. Grygla Secondary reported a 100.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025, matching its district and well above the state’s 84.9%, alongside a 0.0% dropout rate versus the state’s 4.2%. Its student-teacher ratio of 8.5 reflects a small-school environment where students get relatively more individual attention, and 46.27% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. These are meaningful strengths, though with only 67 students in grades 7–12, a handful of students can shift any percentage noticeably.

Academically, the school currently ranks 342 of 473, or the 28th percentile with 1 star, down from 49th percentile (2 stars) in 2021–2022 and 47th percentile (2 stars) in 2022–2023. Proficiency is below state averages across reported subjects. Reading shows the widest gap — 28.6% all-grade versus 48.6% statewide — and 11th-grade math is 14.3% versus 35.3% statewide. Science improved from 8% to 18.2% year over year and now exceeds the district’s 12.5%, though it remains under the state’s 25.5%. Math dipped slightly, from 34.62% to 30.6%. Where the state suppressed 8th-grade results (shown as —), those scores are simply unknown and should not be read as weak.
