Summary

Fridley Senior High is a 9–12 public high school in Fridley, Minnesota, serving 796 students as part of the Fridley Public School District in a high-poverty Twin Cities suburban area. Its most recent overall rating is 1 star: in 2025–2026 it ranked 372 of 473 Minnesota high schools, or the 21st percentile. The school has been mostly 1-star since 2016–2017, with percentiles generally in the 14–28 range; only 2015–2016 reached 2 stars at the 32nd percentile. About 69.97% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 23.6 in 2022–2023 to 17.6 and then 13.5 in 2024–2025.

Completion is the school's clearest strength. The graduation rate was 94.6% in 2024–2025, above the district's 90.0% and the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate was 1.9%, below the district's 3.1% and the state's 4.2%. Nearby schools with reported data trail well behind: Columbia Heights Senior High at 86.0% graduation and 9.0% dropout, Fridley Moore Lk Area Learning Center at 67.4% and 9.3%, and Metro Heights Academy at 52.6% and 7.6%. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: English Language Learner students rank at the 70th percentile (4 stars) and special education students at the 62nd (3 stars), while low-income students sit at the 13th percentile, male students at the 13th, and female students at the 19th.

Test proficiency is low. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was Math 20.8%, Reading 19%, and Science 21.3%. Reading fell from 43.98% in 2023–2024 to 33.66% and then 19%, while math rose from 7.1% to 19.69% to 20.8%. Against Columbia Heights Senior High, Fridley leads in math (20.8% vs 9.9%) and science (21.3% vs 8.7%) but trails in reading (19% vs 25%). Within its district, Fridley is below in math (district 29.2%) and reading (district 32%) but above in science (district 18.7%). All three remain below state averages of Math 44.9%, Reading 48.6%, and Science 25.5%. Some nearby programs are very small or alternative settings with suppressed test scores, which should be treated as unknown rather than as low performance.

They have taught me a lot and they support everyone. The school and the staff makes us feel as one and we do things together and we all have fun. We as a school encourage each other through thick and thin no matter what. Our school is why I smile. Close Quote
