Summary

Blaine High School is a large public high school in Blaine, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 3,157 students as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 61st of 473 Minnesota high schools — the 87th percentile, with 4 stars — a big rise from 2015–2016, when it sat at the 46th percentile with 2 stars. The district overall ranks near the 60th percentile, so Blaine stands out clearly within it.

Science is Blaine's biggest academic strength: 47.2% of students were proficient, compared with 27.1% districtwide and 25.5% statewide. Math proficiency is 50.6%, essentially matching the district and beating the state's 44.9%, and it has climbed sharply from the high 30s and low 40s in recent years. Reading is more mixed at 48.1% — slightly below both district and state and down from 62.42% the prior year, making it the main academic question mark to watch. Outcomes after high school are strong: a 95.4% graduation rate and 0.9% dropout rate, both far better than district figures (88.7% and 1.9%) and state figures (84.9% and 4.2%). Among nearby comprehensive high schools, Blaine outranks Andover High School (79th percentile) and Coon Rapids High School (47th percentile).
