Best Public Schools in Fergus Falls, MN


Summary:

The Fergus Falls school district in Minnesota consists of 11 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with varying levels of economic disadvantage across the schools. While the district as a whole is ranked 192 out of 463 districts in Minnesota, the performance of individual schools within the district varies significantly.

Kennedy Middle School stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranked among the top 30-36 middle schools in Minnesota over the past 3 years with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the Fergus Falls Public School District and state averages in math, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels, and has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 43.04%. Similarly, Cleveland Elementary is ranked among the top 132-155 elementary schools in Minnesota, with strong performance in math and reading proficiency.

In contrast, the iQ Academy 9-12 (virtual high school) and Fergus Falls Area Learning Center (alternative school) face unique challenges. The virtual schools serve a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, struggling to match the academic performance of the traditional brick-and-mortar schools. The Fergus Falls Area Learning Center also has a much lower four-year graduation rate and higher dropout rate compared to the district's traditional high schools.
