Summary
Minnetonka Senior High is a comprehensive high school serving grades 9–12 with 3,514 students at 18301 Hwy 7 in Minnetonka, Minnesota, part of the Minnetonka Public School District — by far the largest school in its local comparison group.
Academically, the school ranks 12th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 (97th percentile, 5 stars), and has earned 5 stars with a percentile of 96 or higher in each of the ten reported years, peaking at 3rd of 480 in 2023–2024. Its 97.2% graduation rate and 0.6% dropout rate have been essentially flat for five straight years. Compared with its closest large peer, Eden Prairie Senior High — similar size, same grade span, 2.7 miles away — Minnetonka is ahead by roughly 14–16 points in every subject, with 97.2% vs. 90.9% graduation, 0.6% vs. 1.5% dropout, and 11.47% vs. 28.97% free/reduced lunch. Proficiency is also strong in absolute terms: 60.3 in math, 66.5 in reading, and 54.6 in science, all well above state figures.
Two things are worth monitoring. First, proficiency has drifted downward over several years — math from 69.4% to 60.3%, reading to 66.5%, and science to 54.6% — though changes in assessment labeling may account for part of it; the statewide rank eased from 3rd to 12th, still excellent but below its peak. Second, English Language Learner students rank 77th of 110 (30th percentile, 2 stars), the only weak spot in an otherwise top-decile profile. Finally, graduation rate alone should never be used to judge a school: Ubah Academy posts a 96.8% graduation rate with 0.0% dropout, yet only 1.7% math and 2.2% science proficiency, ranking 432nd of 473.
