Summary:
Crosslake Community 6-12 Online is the only high school in the Crosslake Community Charter School district in Crosslake, Minnesota, serving grades 6–12 with 311 students in an online charter setting. Because it is the sole high school in this area, there are no peer-to-peer comparisons within the area; the useful benchmarks are the district itself and Minnesota state averages, and the school trails both.
On completion measures, the school reported a 64.2% graduation rate in 2024–2025, compared with 84.9% statewide, and a 13.6% dropout rate, compared with 4.2% statewide — more than three times the state figure. The district reported identical graduation and dropout rates. About 49.52% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.3. In 2025–2026 all-grade test scores, math proficiency was 7.9% (district 23.2%, state 44.9%), reading was 35.4% (district 41%, state 48.6%), and science was 7.7% (district 16%, state 25.5%). The school has earned a 1-star rating in each reported year and has ranked in the bottom 12th–16th percentile across three years, most recently 409th of 473.
Reading is the relative strength. Eighth-grade reading was 50%, matching the state average exactly, while 10th-grade reading was 23.8% against the state's 42.5%. Math and science lag furthest behind, and 6th-grade math was reported at 0%. There was modest year-over-year progress from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 — math rose from 2.63% to 7.9%, reading from 28.57% to 35.4%, and science from 7.14% to 7.7% — but the school remained below the district in every all-grade subject in both years. In short, this is a small online 6–12 charter school with significant academic and completion challenges, and reading as its clearest bright spot.
