Summary:
The Becker Public School District in Minnesota has 2 high schools serving grades 9–12 — Becker Senior High with 881 students and Becker Alternative Learning Program with 24. Together they enroll 905 high school students, and Becker Senior High accounts for about 97.4% of that enrollment, so district-level high school trends are mostly driven by that school.
Becker Senior High is the primary comprehensive high school. Its graduation rate is 92.3%, above the district's 92.4% by only 0.1 points but well above the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate of 4.0% matches the district and is slightly below the state's 4.2%. Science is a clear relative strength: 36.3% proficient in 2025–2026 versus district 24.6% and state 25.5%, and 46.15% in 2024–2025 versus district 28.71% and state 26.15%. However, its rank has slipped from 61st of 480 (87th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 236th of 473 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, and math and reading now trail both district and state — math at 31.4% versus district 51.1% and state 44.9%, and reading at 33.3% versus district 50% and state 48.6%.
Becker Alternative Learning Program serves a much smaller, higher-need population: 41.67% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, compared with 17.03% at Becker Senior High, and its student-teacher ratio is 24 versus 18.6. Its available math proficiency was 14.29% in 2024–2025, far below district and state, while its science scores are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown rather than poor. With only 24 students, percentages are volatile and the full academic picture is unknown. Meanwhile, the district overall ranks 137th of 458 in Minnesota, at the 70th percentile with 4 stars — stronger than the latest ranking of its largest high school.
