Summary

FAIR High is a public high school located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 332 students. The school is part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 300 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

FAIR High has consistently underperformed the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in math, with only 17.39% of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math for 11th grade in 2024-2025, compared to 31.18% for the district and 34.96% for the state. The school's reading and science proficiency rates are also below the district and state averages. FAIR High's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 67.8% to 84.2%, and its dropout rate has varied from 4.4% to 7.8%. The school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the schools closest to FAIR High are all small, alternative high schools within the Minneapolis Public School District and have similar academic and demographic profiles. In contrast, Metro College Prep, a public charter high school located about 0.8 miles from FAIR High, has significantly higher academic performance. FAIR High's performance has also fluctuated significantly over the past several years, which may be indicative of challenges the school is facing in providing consistent, high-quality education to its students.
