Summary

Lakeville Online Academy-High is a small public online/alternative high school in Lakeville, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 153 students as part of Lakeville Area Schools, a district ranked in the 85th percentile statewide.

The school's statewide rank has been unusually volatile, moving from the 91st percentile with 5 stars in 2023–24 to the 17th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, with a 3-star year in between. That swing suggests small cohort sizes and shifting student populations may heavily influence year-to-year results, so no single year should be read as a stable trend. In 2025–26, nearby comprehensive high schools ranked well above it: Lakeville South High and Lakeville North High at the 62nd and 68th percentiles with 3 stars, Farmington High School at the 69th, Prior Lake High School at the 70th with 4 stars, and Apple Valley Senior High at the 71st with 4 stars. Among alternative programs, FIT Academy High School sat at the 24th percentile. The most appropriate comparison group is these alternative/online programs, not the large comprehensive schools.

Graduation and dropout stand out as the most consistent concerns. In 2024–25 the graduation rate was 70.1%, below the district's 93.0% and the state's 84.9%, while the dropout rate of 10.5% was more than four times the district rate and more than double the state rate. That said, the graduation rate is above Lakeville Pathways Academy (62.5%) and FIT Academy High School (61.5%). Math proficiency is 7.7%, well below district and state, and science is 20%. Reading has historically been a relative strength — above district and state levels in 2023–24 and 2024–25 — but the 2025–26 reading result is suppressed by the state and therefore unknown. The free/reduced lunch rate is 29.41%, and the student/teacher ratio of 16.6 is lower than the large comprehensive high schools.
