Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Compass-Bell Center is a small public school in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, serving grades 6–12 with only 37 students as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District. Its wide grade span and tiny enrollment set it apart from nearby comprehensive high schools such as Andover High School (1,758 students), Blaine High School (3,157), Champlin Park High School (2,978), and Coon Rapids High School (1,975). Its closest peers in size are alternative or specialized programs like Compass Online and Anoka-Hennepin Regn Night School.

The school's profile stands out in several ways. Its student-teacher ratio was 2.2 in 2024–2025, far below Andover High School's 20 and Blaine High School's 20.3, and well under even Northwest Passage High School's 10.7. Free and reduced lunch participation was 70.27% in 2024–2025, down from 88.89% the previous year but still above Coon Rapids High School's 50.58%. Reported MCA proficiency in 2025–2026 was 0% in math, 4.2% in reading, and 0% in science — below the district's 51%, 50.9%, and 27.1%, and below both Northwest Passage High School and Paladin Career and Technical High School in reading.

This combination — very small enrollment, intensive staffing, high poverty indicators, and low test scores — suggests Compass-Bell Center functions as an alternative, credit-recovery, or specialized setting rather than a typical comprehensive high school. With so few students, one test-taker can shift a percentage dramatically, and some grade-level results were suppressed by the state, so those figures are unknown rather than zero. Graduation and dropout data for the school were not available, meaning its completion outcomes cannot be assessed. Families should weigh these numbers alongside the program's mission and the needs of the students it serves.
