SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 473 Minnesota High Schools

Better than 9% of Minnesota high schools

Summary

Brooklyn Center High School is a grades 9–12 public high school in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, part of Brooklyn Center Community Schools, with 539 students and a high-poverty student population: 79.04% were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025.

Statewide, Brooklyn Center High School ranked 429th of 473 schools in 2025-2026, placing it in the 9th percentile with 0 stars—consistent with its 7th–9th percentile range since 2021-2022 and a decline from the 14th–23rd percentile range in the mid-2010s. Test proficiency is low compared with Minnesota but above the district average: math was 11% (district 5.9%, state 44.9%), reading 15.4% (district 13.9%, state 48.6%), and science 10.4% (district 6.1%, state 25.5%). Math and science improved from 2024-2025, while reading declined. Nearby comparisons are mixed: math ties Park Center IB World School at 11%, reading trails Insight School Of Minnesota (17.9%), Fridley Senior High (19%), and Park Center IB World School (21%), and science trails Insight School Of Minnesota (12.5%), Fridley Senior High (21.3%), and Park Center IB World School (13.5%). Suppressed scores are unknown, not zero.

Completion outcomes are a relative strength. The 2024-2025 graduation rate was 88.1%, above the district rate of 64.7% and the state rate of 84.9%; among nearby schools, only Fridley Senior High was higher (94.6%), and it was far above same-district alternatives Brooklyn Center Early College Academy (58.0%) and Insight School Of Minnesota (43.9%). The dropout rate was 3.6%, below district (7.7%) and state (4.2%), and lower than Insight School Of Minnesota, Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center, Metro Heights Academy, and Park Center IB World School. The student-teacher ratio improved to 15.8 from 18.1 in 2022-2023. A bright spot in 2025-2026: English Language Learner students ranked in the 61st percentile and Special Education students in the 56th percentile, though prior years were much lower, so it is worth watching whether this is sustained.
