Summary

Anoka High School is a large 9–12 comprehensive high school in Anoka, Minnesota, serving 2,348 students in the Anoka-Hennepin School District, with about 35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. It earns a 2-star rating for 2025–26 and ranks 261st of 473 Minnesota high schools (45th percentile), which places it below its own district's average standing.

The school's standout feature is a split between how many students finish and how many test proficient. Its 92.2% graduation rate beats the district (88.7%) and the state (84.9%), and its 2.2% dropout rate is roughly half the state's 4.2% — yet math proficiency is just 23.6%, about 27 points below the district and 21 points below the state, and the lowest among the comprehensive high schools here (Coon Rapids High School is at 30.3%). Reading sits at 41.1%, well under the state's 48.6%. Science is the exception: 29.1% is above both the district and the state, and ahead of Coon Rapids and Pact Charter Secondary, though behind Andover High School.

Trends are the bigger story. Anoka has slid from the mid-60s percentile in 2016–19 to the low 40s today, dropping from 3 stars to 2, with math declining four years running and reading falling nearly 12 points. Several student groups still outperform the school's overall rank: special education students rank at the 73rd percentile (up sharply from the 33rd), Native American students at the 79th, Hispanic students at the 59th, and African American students at the 56th, while Asian and multi-racial students rank below the school average. Nearby Andover and Pact Charter are the academic leaders (4 stars each), while the district's alternative and transition programs serve very different populations.
