Summary

Brooklyn Center High School is a public magnet high school serving 516 students in grades 9-12 in the Brooklyn Center Community Schools district in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. According to the data, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 380-448 out of 472-504 schools, and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below average compared to other schools in the state.

Brooklyn Center High School significantly underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 5.66% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Math and 21.26% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Reading, compared to state averages of 34.96% and 51.26%, respectively.

While the nearby Brooklyn Center Early College Academy and Insight School Of Minnesota also perform poorly on academic measures, the Fridley Senior High School, which is in a different district, performs significantly better on most metrics, suggesting that district-level factors may be contributing to the challenges faced by Brooklyn Center High School.
