Summary:
El Colegio High School is the only high school in the Academias La Paz district, serving grades 9–12 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With 83 students, it is a very small school, which means a close-knit student body but also that results can swing widely from year to year based on just a few students.
The school's state rankings and test results sit near the bottom of Minnesota's list. The district ranks 452 out of 458 (1 percentile, 0 stars), and the school's 2025–2026 ranking is 471 out of 473 (0 percentile, 0 stars). In 2025–2026, 0% of students were proficient in Math All Grades and 0% in Science All Grades, compared with 44.9% and 25.5% statewide. Reading All Grades was 7.7% proficient versus 48.6% statewide. Eleventh-grade Math and Science End-of-Course also came in at 0%, against state rates of 35.3% and 35%. Reading is the strongest subject here, yet it remains roughly 40 percentage points below the state.
Other outcomes are less severe than the test scores suggest. The graduation rate is 74.0%, below the state's 84.9%, but the dropout rate of 3.7% is slightly better than the state's 4.2%. About 80.72% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, indicating high economic need. Science proficiency moved from 10% in 2024–2025 to 0% in 2025–2026—a shift worth reading cautiously given the small number of test-takers. The student-teacher ratio is blank, so staffing cannot be compared.
