Summary

Mts High School is a small public charter school at 2872 26th Ave S in south Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 158 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Minnesota Transitions Charter School district. Its 2025–2026 statewide rank was 451st of 473 schools (5th percentile, 0 stars), and this is not a one-year dip: recent years show 410/450 in 2024–2025 (9th percentile), 436/480 in 2023–2024 (9th), 429/476 in 2022–2023 (10th), and 449/472 in 2021–2022 (5th). The school also ranks below its own district, which is itself low-ranked at 411th of 458 (10th percentile).

Mts serves a high-need student body: 93.04% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 9.2. Despite that relatively small setting, outcomes remain low. In 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 51.2%, compared with 67.1% for the district and 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate was 19.5% — versus 5.9% districtwide and 4.2% statewide, and up sharply from 8.3% the year before. Test proficiency in 2025–2026 was 3.3% in math, 13.9% in reading, and 8.2% in science, with both 11th-grade and 7th-grade math at 0%.

Among nearby schools, Universal Academy Middle/High ranked 313/473 (34th percentile), South High 375/473 (21st), Hiawatha Collegiate High School 389/473 (18th), and Lincoln International High School 400/473 (15th). Nearby graduation rates were 80.7% at Hiawatha, 64.8% at South, and 51.7% at Lincoln; Longfellow Alternative High, Center School, and Takoda Prep graduated 25%, 30%, and 15% respectively, but the state suppresses their test scores, so academic comparison is limited. Among nearby schools with reported test data, Mts had the lowest math and science proficiency and the second-lowest reading.
