Summary
Rogers Senior High is a large public high school in Rogers, Minnesota, a suburban community northwest of the Twin Cities, serving grades 9–12 with 1,888 students as part of the Elk River Public School District, which ranks 37th of 458 Minnesota districts. In 2025–2026, Rogers Senior High ranked 76th of 473 Minnesota high schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) — strong, but a clear step down from 10th of 450 (98th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 12th of 480 in 2023–2024.
Outcomes remain above average: graduation was 94.4% and the dropout rate 2.3%, both better than district and state figures. Proficiency was 56% in math, 51.9% in reading, and 37.8% in science, all above state averages. Compared with nearby comprehensive schools, Rogers has the highest statewide rank — ahead of Pact Charter Secondary, Spectrum High School, Kaleidoscope Charter High School, and Maple Grove Senior High — and math is its clearest edge, beating the state and every one of those schools. Reading is more mixed: Spectrum (55.5%) and Pact (53.9%) report higher all-grade reading proficiency. Science is above state but slightly behind Spectrum (39.6%), and Spectrum also posts a slightly higher graduation rate (95.5%) and lower dropout rate (1.1%). Rogers serves a relatively lower-poverty population (16.63% free/reduced lunch) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (28:1) than Maple Grove (22.1), Spectrum (16.6), and Pact (18.7), making its results notable.
The key story for 2025–2026 is a broad decline from a recent peak: proficiency fell in all three subjects, with reading dropping the most. Statewide effectiveness rankings for specific student groups, which measure how well a school serves particular populations, remain solid for many groups but softened this year for several. The bottom line: Rogers is still a high-performing comprehensive high school with standout math results, above-state science, and strong completion rates — but families should watch whether the 2025–2026 dip is a one-year shift or a trend.
