Summary:
There is one high school in this area: AFSA High School in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, serving grades 7–12 with 246 students. Because it is the only school listed, there are no local peer high schools to compare against; comparisons below are to the state and to the school’s own district figures.
At AFSA High School, 2024–25 outcomes show a 78.0% graduation rate and a 7.3% dropout rate, compared with 84.9% and 4.2% statewide. The school has a 55.69% free/reduced-price lunch rate and a 19.7 student-teacher ratio. In 2025–26, all-grades math proficiency was 17.4% (district 20.6%, state 44.9%), reading was 34.0% (district 35.0%, state 48.6%), and science was 20.0% (district 16.9%, state 25.5%). Grade-level math was especially low: 11th grade was 0% vs. 35.3% statewide. The strongest grade-level result was 8th-grade reading at 37.1%, still 12.9 points below the state. End-of-Course science at 32% was closest to the state’s 35.0%.
Science is the clearest bright spot: all-grades science rose from 13.51% in 2024–25 to 20.0% in 2025–26, about a 6.5-point gain, and exceeded the district. Reading slipped from 38.79% to 34.0%, losing its prior advantage over the district. Math remains the biggest challenge, falling from 22.52% to 17.4%. The school’s rank improved from 360 of 450 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–25 to 318 of 473 (33rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, though the attached AFSA High School district summary still shows 345 of 458 (25th percentile, 1 star). With a small enrollment, high free/reduced-lunch rate, and nearly 20:1 student-teacher ratio, year-to-year results can shift; parents may want to ask about math supports and how science gains are being sustained.
