Summary

Prairie Seeds High School Academy is a 9–12 charter high school in Brooklyn Park, MN, serving 282 students as part of the Prairie Seeds Academy district. About two-thirds of students (66.67%) qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25, and the school currently ranks in the 27th percentile statewide with a 1-star rating, down from a peak of 41st percentile in 2022-23. Its completion outcomes are a major strength: it reports a 98.4% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, compared with 84.9% and 4.2% statewide.

Those completion numbers stand out sharply against nearby alternative programs. Alternative Learning Center Senior High reports a 20.5% graduation rate and a 16.1% dropout rate, while North Education Center Academy reports 25.0% and 20.8%. Much of their testing data is suppressed by the state, and they serve smaller, different populations; the school is the only comprehensive high school in this group. Even so, proficiency is low and falling. In 2025-26, 15.7% of students were proficient in math, 26.5% in reading, and 25.6% in science. Math is the weakest area, about 29 points below the state; science is the bright spot, essentially at the state average (25.5%) and more than double the district's 11.2%.

The school serves some of its highest-need groups well. English-language learners rank in the 84th percentile statewide (4 stars), and special-education students rank in the 78th percentile (4 stars)—both far above the school's overall 27th percentile. Low-income students also rank above the school average, at the 40th percentile. The overall proficiency decline—math from 34.33% in 2022-23 to 15.7%, reading from 40% to 26.5%—helps explain the slide from 41st to 27th percentile. Class sizes are larger than at neighboring schools: 18.2 students per teacher versus 5.2 at Alternative Learning Center Senior High and 6.9 at North Education Center Academy, though those nearby schools are small alternative/transition programs by design. The bottom line: the school gets students across the graduation stage at exceptional rates and performs very well with English-language learners and special-education students, but overall proficiency is low and declining, especially in math.
