Summary

Mts High School is a small public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With just 139 students enrolled, the school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota high schools over the past decade.

Mts High School faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high dropout rates, and low graduation rates. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.45% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 8.12% for the Minnesota Transitions Charter School district and 34.96% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 54.1% to 84.2% in recent years, well below the state average.

The small size and high poverty levels of Mts High School may contribute to its challenges, but the school has not shown significant improvement over the past decade.
