Best High Schools in Zip Code 56751

Zip code 56751 is home to a single high school, Roseau Secondary, which serves grades 7–12 with 527 students as part of Roseau Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no other local schools to compare it against; the most useful benchmarks are its own year-over-year trends and comparisons with district and Minnesota state averages.

Roseau Secondary’s most encouraging story is its rising state rank. In 2025–26 it placed 98th of 473 schools, at the 79th percentile with 4 stars — up from 199th of 450 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25 and 181st of 480 in 2023–24. Science stands out academically: all-grades science proficiency was 31.3%, above the district’s 29.3% and the state’s 25.5%, and End-of-Course science reached 54.1%, far above the state’s 35%. The school’s 90.3% graduation rate also exceeds Minnesota’s 84.9%, though it trails the district’s 90.7%. The district itself ranks 190 of 458 at the 59th percentile with 3 stars, making the school a relative bright spot within it.

The main challenge is middle-grade math and reading. All-grades math (28.4%) and reading (38.5%) both fall below district and state levels, largely because of grades 7 and 8 — 8th-grade math was just 14.9% proficient against the state’s 42.3%, while 8th-grade reading was 38.3% versus the state’s 50%. Upper-grade results are much closer to, or above, the state: 11th-grade math came in at 36.2% vs. 35.3%, and 10th-grade reading at 43.8% vs. 42.5%. The dropout rate, 4.3%, is slightly above the district’s 4.1% and the state’s 4.2%, and is worth monitoring. Free/reduced-price lunch is 23.53% and the student/teacher ratio is 16.3, which offer background context without district or state comparisons.
