Summary:
The city of Graceville, Minnesota is home to two schools: 6-12th Grade Building, a high school serving grades 6-12, and Big Stone Colony Elementary, a small elementary school. Based on the available data, the 6-12th Grade Building stands out as the stronger performing school in the Graceville area, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and higher graduation rates compared to state averages.
The 6-12th Grade Building has a statewide ranking of 157th out of 480 high schools in Minnesota and boasts an impressive 94.1% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. The school also outperforms the state in reading and science proficiency, with 60% of 10th graders proficient or better in reading and 45.45% proficient or better in the end-of-course science exam. In contrast, the small Big Stone Colony Elementary school, with only 16 students, lacks comprehensive data, but appears to serve a predominantly white student population with a much higher free and reduced lunch rate of 81.25%.
Overall, the educational landscape in Graceville, Minnesota is shaped by the contrasting performance of these two schools. The Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley district will need to continue supporting the 6-12th Grade Building's success while also addressing the unique challenges faced by the smaller Big Stone Colony Elementary school in order to provide a well-rounded educational experience for all students in the community.
