How Minnesota's high schools compare
A: 53B: 157C: 138D: 69F: 6
50% of the 423 ranked high schools in Minnesota earn an A or B (53 A grades, 157 B, 138 C, 69 D, 6 F), against 48% of high schools nationwide. 318 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (75% here, 75% nationally), and 165 exceed it. On average 41% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 41% (national averages: 42% actual, 40% projected).
The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Nova Classical Academy Upper School (77% against 43%, A), Harbor City International Charter (70% against 36%, A), Secondary Lighthouse (80% against 53%, A+), St Croix Preparatory Academy Upper (77% against 54%, A), Watershed High School (50% against 27%, B).
Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 106): Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (4), Minneapolis Public School District (3), Elk River Public School District (3), Mounds View Public School District (2).
Cities with the most ranked high schools: Minneapolis (17, 5 at A or B), Rochester (5, 3 at A or B), Apple Valley (4, 3 at A or B), Minnetonka (4, 3 at A or B), Stillwater (3, 2 at A or B).
The largest ranked high schools: Wayzata High (3,523 students, A, #2), Minnetonka Senior High (3,508 students, A, #14), Champlin Park High School (2,983 students, B-, #168).
Of the top 25, 0 are magnet schools and 6 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

- 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
