Summary

Roosevelt High in Minneapolis, MN, is a 9–12 comprehensive high school with 1,148 students in south Minneapolis, part of the Minneapolis Public School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 85th of 473 Minnesota high schools — the 82nd percentile and 4 stars — while its district ranked in the 32nd percentile. A decade ago it was near the bottom of the state, and it climbed from the 28th percentile in 2021–22 to the 82nd in 2025–26.

Compared with nearby schools, Roosevelt posts the highest proficiency in all three core subjects. Reading is 52.9% proficient (above the state’s 48.6% and double South High’s 26.6%), science is 40.6% (versus the district’s 21.7% and the state’s 25.5%), and math is 41.6% (above the district’s 37.1% but below the state’s 44.9%). Its graduation rate is 80.6%, above the district’s 72.7% but below the state’s 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 3.9%, below both the district and state. South High is the closest true peer, yet Roosevelt outranks it 82 to 21 percentile and beats it on every outcome, even though South has a lower student–teacher ratio.

Roosevelt is overall strong but not uniformly effective. Statewide, its English language learners rank in the 44th percentile, low-income students in the 38th, and special education students in the 21st — well below the school’s overall 82nd percentile. Meanwhile, Roosevelt serves a lower share of low-income students (47.3% free/reduced lunch) than every nearby school with reported data, which is important context for comparisons. Nearby examples also show why graduation alone can mislead: Hiawatha Collegiate High School graduates 80.7% but has proficiency of 17.3% in math, 17.1% in reading, and 18.9% in science, while Roosevelt High - SWS and Heritage Academy High report very high graduation and low or suppressed proficiency. Roosevelt’s main open questions are its internal achievement gaps and a graduation rate still trailing the state.

Roosevelt has been a great school for our child. The arts programming is fantastic and includes one of the best choir teachers I have ever known. The IB program provides rigorous academics for students who are interested. The relatively small size (under 1000) lets teachers and administrators really get to know the kids. In fact, the principal stands outside each morning and greets kids by name. Roosevelt teachers, staff, and students are building a lovely community of learners. Close Quote
