Summary:
High schools in the Westonka Public School District consist of two schools serving the Minnetrista, Minnesota area: Westonka High School, a comprehensive school for grades 8–12 with 895 students, and Transition Plus, a grade-12-only program with 10 students. The district itself is one of the strongest in Minnesota, ranking 5th of 458 districts (99th percentile, 5 stars). Both schools list the same address, so they appear to operate on a shared campus, but they serve very different student populations and settings.
Westonka High School is the standout on outcomes. It ranks 10th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026, in the 98th percentile with 5 stars, and has held elite rankings for three years running (10th, 11th, and 15th). Its graduation rate is 97.6% versus 84.9% statewide, and its dropout rate is 1.1% versus 4.2% statewide. Test scores beat state averages in every reported subject: all-grade math is 66.3% proficient versus 44.9% statewide, reading is 71.2% versus 48.6%, and science is 41.4% versus 25.5%. Math rose 6.49 points and science rose 10.02 points year over year, while reading slipped only 0.5 points. Science remains the relatively weaker subject, with 8th-grade science at 26.9% — still above the state's 16.7%.
Transition Plus is a much smaller, more individualized setting with a 5:1 student-teacher ratio, 60% free/reduced lunch, and only grade 12 students. It has no test score, graduation, dropout, or ranking data in this data set, so it cannot be compared academically to Westonka High School; the absence of those measures is not evidence of weakness. Notably, district-wide math (75.7%) and reading (79.3%) proficiency exceed the high school's all-grade scores, indicating the district's 99th-percentile rank is supported across multiple grade spans, while district graduation and dropout figures match the high school exactly.
