Better than 6% of Minnesota high schools

Summary

Alternative Learning Center Senior High is a public high school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 160. The school is part of the Osseo Public School District, which is ranked 267 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Osseo district, Alternative Learning Center Senior High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Minnesota, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments significantly lower than the district and state averages, particularly in math. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 80-85% in recent years, which is lower than the district and state averages, and it has had relatively high dropout rates ranging from 4.5% to 19.1% in the past few years. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female and African American students.

When compared to other high schools in the Osseo district, such as Park Center IB World School and Osseo Senior High, Alternative Learning Center Senior High performs significantly worse, with higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates at the nearby schools. The school's small size, high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and poor academic performance suggest that it may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the Osseo district and the school itself may need to implement more comprehensive and targeted improvement strategies to address these issues.
