Summary

Farmington High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Farmington, Minnesota, a suburban community south of the Twin Cities, with 2,153 students — the largest enrollment in this comparison set. It belongs to Farmington Public School District, which ranks 273 of 458 (40th percentile, 2 stars), yet the school itself ranks well above its district: 145 of 473 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. Its trajectory has been strongly upward, moving from 340 of 480 (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024, to 238 of 450 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, then to 145 of 473 in 2025–2026.

The closest like-for-like comparisons are the two comprehensive high schools in Lakeville Area Schools, Lakeville North High and Lakeville South High. Farmington High School's rank of 145 edges Lakeville North (151) and Lakeville South (180), even though both score higher in Math (44.4% and 43.5% versus 40%) and Reading (46.2% and 45.9% versus 41%). Science is where Farmington stands out: 43.6% proficiency, above the state End-of-Course figure of 35% and well above Lakeville North's 32.1% and Lakeville South's 28%. Farmington's 91.7% graduation rate exceeds the state's 84.9%, and its 3.4% dropout rate is below the state's 4.2%, though both Lakeville schools graduate over 95% with dropout rates near 1%. Farmington's student-teacher ratio is also lower — 19.8 versus 22.8 and 21.9 — despite being the larger school.

Overall, Farmington's strengths are its rapid improvement, strong Science results, lower student-teacher ratio, and above-state graduation and dropout outcomes; its clearest gaps are Math and Reading relative to the Lakeville peers. Effectiveness varies by student group: in 2025–2026 the school ranks higher for male students (74th percentile, 4 stars) than female students (52nd percentile, 3 stars), at the 64th percentile (3 stars) for White students, and at the 40th percentile (2 stars) for low socio-economic status students. Special education students (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and African American students (88th percentile, 4 stars) earned notably high rankings in 2024–2025, while rankings for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Asian students have generally been low, so the improvement is not evenly distributed. Nearby alternative and online programs have much weaker outcomes and are not direct peers.
