Minco

Minco has three schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Minco Elementary (PK–5), Minco Middle (grades 6–8), and Minco High (grades 9–12). The clearest area-wide takeaway is that results differ sharply by school and subject: in 2025–2026, every school was above its state figure in English language arts (ELA), but Minco High was below state in math and science. Its steep recent declines in those two subjects are the most important concern in the latest results.

Minco Elementary stands out in science, with 59% proficient, 29 percentage points above the state figure; fifth-grade math was also a high point at 52%, versus 28% statewide. Minco Middle has the broadest strong profile, exceeding state figures in ELA by 8 points, math by 10, and science by 20. Minco High leads in ELA at 48%, 22 points above state, but is 2 points below state in math and 13 below in science. Its 91% graduation rate is 14 points above the state rate. The largest school-to-school difference is in science: 59% at Elementary compared with 17% at High. These all-grade figures compare schools serving different grades, rather than the same grades.

Scores fell at Middle in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, though it remains above state; Elementary’s science rose 13 points and math rose 4, while its ELA slipped 2. High’s math fell 17 points and science 18, while ELA and U.S. History each declined 2. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings show Elementary at the 62nd percentile, Middle at the 86th, and High at the 76th; High has dropped 18 percentile points since 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios ranged from 11.5 at Middle to 15.6 at Elementary. Free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 was 32% at Middle, 43% at High, and 44% at Elementary; these figures provide context, not an explanation of results. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was below the 16% state rate at all three schools, especially at High, at 2%.
