Summary:
ZIP code 56763 covers Warroad, Minnesota, and contains just two public schools — Warroad Elementary serving grades PK–5 and Warroad High School serving grades 6–12 — both in the Warroad Public School District, both on the same Cedar Ave NW campus, with 1,023 students total and no separate middle or alternative school.
Warroad Elementary is the academic standout. In 2025–2026 it beat both the district and the state in all three tested subjects: math 59.8 (district 42.5, state 44.9), reading 50.5 (district 44.8, state 48.6) and science 26.7. Its strongest results were in 3rd and 4th grade math and 4th grade reading, while 5th grade was closer to state averages. It ranked 313 of 869 schools (64th percentile, 3 stars), after a 4-star year in 2024–2025. Notably, the elementary school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (44.21%) than the high school, yet performs better, and a student-teacher ratio of 12.3.
Warroad High School has a harder picture. Its state rank fell from 4 stars in 2023–2024 to 2 stars in 2025–2026 (39th percentile, 290 of 473). All-grade math was 30.4 and reading 40.8, both below district and state, while science was 25.5, essentially even with the state. The most concerning numbers are outcomes: a dropout rate of 13.8% — more than three times the state's 4.2% — and a graduation rate of 80.0% versus the state's 84.9%. There are bright spots: 6th grade reading was 68.9 versus the state's 53.4, but grades 7, 8, 10, and 11 lag well behind. Because this school serves grades 6–12, its scores include middle school grades, so some weakness may reflect a dip after 6th grade.
