Summary

Sandburg Regional High School is a small public high school in Anoka, MN, serving grades 9–12 in the Anoka-Hennepin School District with 217 students. It is much smaller than the district’s large comprehensive high schools but larger than several nearby alternative and virtual programs. In 2025–2026, it ranked 464th of 473 ranked Minnesota high schools—2nd percentile, 0 stars—while its district ranked at the 60th percentile. That is a striking gap within the same district.

Academically, Sandburg reports very low outcomes. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 2.9% in math, 3.8% in reading, and 0% in science. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 59.1%, with a 4.3% dropout rate. By comparison, the district’s graduation rate was 88.7% and the state’s was 84.9%. Nearby comprehensive high schools are far higher: Champlin Park High School reports 94.7% graduation, Anoka High School 92.2%, and Coon Rapids High School 90.2%. However, some nearby alternative programs report even lower graduation rates, such as Secondary Virtual School at 2.4%, Anoka-Hennepin Technical High School at 6.8%, and Secondary Technical Educational Prog S.T.E.P at 11.9%. Northwest Passage High School reports 48.6% graduation and a 10.8% dropout rate, with math 4.5%, reading 26.3%, and science 28.6%.

Sandburg’s free/reduced-lunch rate is 61.75%, higher than the nearby comprehensive high schools, and its student-teacher ratio is 9.2, much lower than those schools’ ratios. Yet its subgroup rankings remain at or near the bottom statewide for female students, male students, and low-income students. Science proficiency at 0% is a red flag, though it was 8.57% in 2024–2025, and small cohorts can make year-to-year results volatile. Data limitations—including only one year of rank history and missing prior graduation years—mean comparisons should be treated as directional. Overall, Sandburg’s profile resembles an alternative or specialized setting more than a comprehensive high school, and its results are not representative of the broader district.
