Summary

Pact Charter Secondary is a public charter school in Ramsey, Minnesota, serving 730 students in grades 6–12 as part of Pact Charter School. It ranks 88 of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 — the 81st percentile, with 4 stars. After a dip to the 43rd percentile in 2020–2021, it has stayed between the 78th and 83rd percentiles since 2022–2023, consistently placing in the top 20% of the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Pact holds its own. Its overall rank is essentially tied with Spectrum High School (80th percentile) and close to Rogers Senior High (84th), while Anoka High School sits at the 45th percentile and Sandburg Regional High School at the 2nd. Reading is a strength at 53.9% proficient — above the district and state, and above Anoka High's 41.1%. Math is mixed at 41.8%: better than Spectrum and Anoka, but well behind Rogers' 56.0% and below the state. All-grade science is 24.5%, though the high school science End-of-Course score is 39.1%, above the state's 35%. Graduation is 85.0%, near the state average but below Spectrum, Anoka, and Rogers, while the 1.6% dropout rate is far below the state's 4.2%. Notably, 32.33% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — roughly double Spectrum and Rogers.

A few things stand out for parents. Reading has beaten the state for four straight years, and every reported grade level is at or above state in 2025–2026. Math looks weaker overall mainly because of 7th grade (30.1%); other grades are above state. Dropout prevention has been excellent, with rates below the state every year since 2020–2021. The school is especially effective for low-income students, reaching the 82nd percentile, but special education effectiveness fell to the 47th percentile — the clearest area to monitor.
