Academically, the school ranks near the bottom of Minnesota high schools: 438th of 473 in 2025–2026 (7th percentile, 0 stars), and it has not earned more than 1 star in available rank history. Proficiency is far below district and state levels. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 0% and reading was 18.2%, compared with 44.0% and 48.8% in the district and 44.9% and 48.6% statewide; science was suppressed by the state, so it is unknown. In 2024–2025, math was 9.09% and reading was 0%.
