How Minnesota's high schools compare

A: 123B: 114C: 120D: 77F: 5

54% of the 439 ranked high schools in Minnesota earn an A or B (123 A grades, 114 B, 120 C, 77 D, 5 F), against 50% of high schools nationwide. 353 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (80% here, 74% nationally), and 201 exceed it. On average 35% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 45% (national averages: 44% actual, 41% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Secondary Lighthouse (90% against 54%, A+), Face To Face Academy (48% against 18%, A-), Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School (66% against 47%, A+), Avalon School (54% against 35%, A), St Croix Preparatory Academy Upper (74% against 56%, A+).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 110): Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (3), Elk River Public School District (3), Rochester Public School District (2), South Washington County Schools (2).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Minneapolis (21, 6 at A or B), Minnetonka (4, 3 at A or B), Rochester (4, 3 at A or B), Apple Valley (4, 3 at A or B), Stillwater (3, 2 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Wayzata High (3,523 students, A+, #4), Minnetonka Senior High (3,508 students, A+, #10), Champlin Park High School (2,983 students, B-, #201).

Of the top 25, 0 are magnet schools and 5 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

High schools in Minnesota that are not ranked

461 graded high schools are listed here rather than ranked, each for the reason given. Every one has its own page with its full SchoolGrade report.

Special-purpose schools (115)

Alternative, special-education and vocational schools serve a different mission and a different student body, so they are graded but not ranked against regular schools.

Fully online schools (24)

Statewide virtual schools draw students from everywhere, so a place ranking is not a fair comparison.

Not yet graded (322)

Our source data has no school-level proficiency results for these schools, so they carry no SchoolGrade yet.

About this ranking

  • Scope: every public high school in Minnesota.
  • Order: SchoolGrade, then actual proficiency, then name; schools with the same grade and score share a rank.
  • Ranked: regular public schools that NCES lists as open, not fully online, with at least 30 students. Others are listed with the reason.
  • Tags: Magnet and Charter from the NCES school directory; K-12 marks schools serving every grade that are ranked with the high schools.
  • Grades are the 2025-26 SchoolGrade model. How SchoolGrade works
