Summary

FAIR High is a grades 9–12 high school in the Minneapolis Public School District, located at 10 S 10th St in downtown Minneapolis, and it enrolls 337 students.

Ranked 315th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 (33rd percentile, 2 stars), FAIR High currently performs at roughly the district average — the Minneapolis Public School District sits at 310th of 458. Its history is uneven: it reached the 84th percentile in 2020–2021, then settled between the 24th and 47th percentiles in most years since. The clearest bright spot is completion. FAIR High's 2024–2025 graduation rate of 82.1% topped the district's 72.7% and came close to the state's 84.9%, while its 1.3% dropout rate was well below the district's 6.0% and the state's 4.2%. That graduation figure is also the highest among nearby schools with reported data, ahead of Metro College Prep (80.3%) and Wellstone International High - SWS (79.1%), and far ahead of Downtown Campus (21.7%) and Loring-Nicollet High (35.7%).

Math is where FAIR High lags most: 2.3% proficiency in 2025–2026, against 37.1% districtwide and 44.9% statewide, and well below Metro College Prep's 35.5%. Reading is closer to expectations — 39.1% in 10th grade, above the district's 37.7% — and science, at 23.8%, edges the district's 21.7% all-grades figure. Rankings also vary widely by student group, from the 34th percentile for female students to the 8th for male students, with low-income students at the 12th. Families should note that year-to-year swings are large, and that many nearby schools are small with suppressed test data, so comparisons are imperfect.
