The minimal faithful permutation degree
$\mu (G)$ of a finite group G is the least integer n such that G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group 
$S_n$. If G has a normal subgroup N such that 
$\mu (G/N)> \mu (G)$, then G is exceptional. We prove that the proportion of exceptional groups of order 
$p^6$ for primes 
$p \geq 5$ is asymptotically zero. We identify 
$(11p+107)/2$ such groups and conjecture that there are no others.
