Summary
Becker Senior High is a public 9–12 high school in Becker, Minnesota, serving 881 students as part of the Becker Public School District. The district ranks 137 of 458 in Minnesota (70th percentile, 4 stars), but the school's own rank has slipped to 236 of 473 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 61 of 480 (87th percentile) in 2023–2024. Before that drop, it spent years in the 81st–87th percentile with 4 stars. Its school rank now sits below its district rank, suggesting the high school is currently a relative drag within a stronger-performing district.
Test scores show the same downward trend. In 2025–2026, 11th-grade math was 31.4% (below the state's 35.3%), 10th-grade reading was 33.3% (well below the state's 42.5%), and science EOC was 36.3%, just above the state's 35%. Science is Becker's clearest relative strength — above Monticello Senior High's 34.1% and Big Lake Senior High's 28.1% — but Maple Lake Secondary scored 42.3%, and Becker's science has fallen from 61.27% in 2023–2024 to 36.3%. Reading is now the most conspicuous weak spot: Big Lake Senior High (44.2%), Monticello Senior High (38.6%), and Maple Lake Secondary (50.0%) all outperformed Becker, even though Big Lake serves a much higher share of low-income students.
Graduation remains a stable strength at 92.3% in 2024–2025, above the state's 84.9% and Monticello Senior High's 90.8%, though behind Big Lake Senior High (96.2%) and Maple Lake Secondary (96.6%). Dropout was 4.0%, below the state's 4.2%, and free/reduced lunch is 17.03% — lower than most nearby comprehensive high schools. The student-teacher ratio is 18.6. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: the low-income subgroup ranked in the 73rd percentile, while special education students ranked in the 17th percentile. Overall, completion outcomes are strong, but the math and reading declines and the narrowing science advantage are the key watch items.
